This CD, part of Lake's mid-price 'year' series, introduces what has become known as the 'classic' Ken Colyer Jazzmen of the 1950s. It comprises all the recordings made for the Decca and Tempo labels in 1956 by both the Jazzmen and the Skiffle Group. The main part of the CD is the famous 'Club Session With Colyer' LP tracks, which is still one of the most sought after albums Colyer ever made.
