[Dixielandjazz] Trad Jazz (British) and the piano

[ROBERT JOHN SMITH]

Dear Ken,
 
 
 
I don't know how many pianists Ken Colyer played with, but he recorded with 22 different pianists, and the various personnel vary widely, so I think it is fair to say that Colyer recorded, and presumably played with the musicians available at the time.
 
 
 
One thing I did notice was that there was no pianist when Chris Barber played with Colyer.
 
 
 
Pat Hawes, Ray Foxley, and Ray Smith seemed to contribute most (on Colyer's recordings).
 
 
 
Kind Regards
 
 
 
Bob Smith
