Ken Colyer
Friday 14 October 2005 16:00-17:00 (Radio 3)
Ken Colyer became a jazz legend, not just in Britain but all over the world, even in New Orleans. More than anyone else he was responsible for the espousal of the New Orleans style when many other forms were clamouring for attention. Alyn Shipton talks to friends and musical colleagues about the man known as 'The Guv'nor'.
