Honoring Ken Walker at Dazzle

For over two decades—more than 250 consecutive months—Ken Walker and his sextet commanded the Dazzle stage on the last Friday of every month. In addition to these regular performances, Ken collaborated with countless renowned musicians and often enjoyed listening to other performances as a guest at the club. At Dazzle, Ken was family. Ken Walker was more than just a performer; he was family and a dear friend to the club and to many others who came to appreciate his bass playing and words. Ken was a man of immense gratitude, always expressing his appreciation through his music and words. Dazzle evolved alongside Ken and his original sextet—Paul Romaine, Al Hood, Peter Sommer, Jeff Jenkins, and Dave Corbus. While the lineup shifted over the years, Ken’s commitment to the Colorado jazz community never wavered. The Dazzle family invites you to celebrate Ken Walker and his musical community under the artistic direction of Paul Romaine, Dave Corbus, Peter Sommer, and Jeff Jenkins. The performance will include guest artists that have sat in with the sextet over the years.
