Vancouver Vintage: Kenny Colman

One of the most under-rated jazz singers has got to be Kenny Colman. Sure, he’s slick but the man can flat-out swing. In conjunction with Melody Diachun’s interview with Colman, Vancouver Vintage offers up a fine example of early KC (looking like a young Dave Barrett!). Here he is singing Bye Bye Blackbird along with Chris Gage on piano, Don Thompson on bass, and Terry Clarke on drums.
We don’t have an exact date for this but it would be from some time in the early sixties.

I met Kenny in the early sixties in Chicago where he had a gig at the Playboy Club and then later at a club in New York. He should have been up there with the Tormes and Bennetts in success and reputation because he certainly has the gift! What an amazing voice and style!
