Unique recordings made at two very special Ken Colyer concerts have been released for the first time on this edition: the recordings made in March 1987 at London`s "The 100 Club" - meeting place and home-from-home for almost all English hazz musicians - proved to be the last sound and film recording of the legendary Ken Colyer Jazzmen line-up before Cloyer died in 1988.
A "revival" session had already been recorded live at the "Pizza Express" in 1986. This recordeing features Colyer performing skiffle - the music he loved - and other music styles together with former band members.
Both the DVD boasting rare concert footage and the audio CD featuring popular Colyer titles present a very special piece of jazz history - the man who not only made New Orleans jazz popular in post-war Germany but also throughout Europe: Ken Coyler.
