Ken Colyer
Ken Colyer started with the Crane River Jazz Band in 1949, before his passion for jazz led him to New Orleans. Following his deportation due to overstaying his visa, he returned home and joined the Ken Colyer Jazzmen. Ken was also extremely influential in the development of the skiffle scene and the career of Alexis Korner, who would in time become a pivotal figure in the British R&B scene of the early 1960s.
