by Mike Pointon and Ray Smith - a superb new book about the Guv'nor of British New Orleans Jazz.with whom I worked and recorded in the 1980s
With its title taken from Ken Colyer’s song dedicated to his beloved New Orleans, this lavish, full colour paperback is mainly based on interviews with Colyer himself. Musicians and writers, Mike Pointon and Ray Smith both played with this British trad legend. This chronicle of a remarkable character is also a slice of social history.
