Subject: RE: Alexis Koerner
Wot, no Ken Collyer? I happened upon my uncle's collection of 10" lps years ago, when I didn't even know he liked jazz. The personnel in Collyer's 1950s band read like a Who's Who? of British jazz: AK on guitar, Lonnie Donnegan on banjo, Bert (now Acker, of course) Bilk or Monty Sunshine on clarinet, Chris Barber on trombone ... all before they were famous.
