Chris Barber ist für mich ein Genie, für mich die beste Jazz Band und seine speziellle und typische Art zu spielen haben mich fasziniert, vor allem seine wunderschönen Blues Nummern. Wir haben ihn beim Konzert in Basel am 27.Februar 1992 im Stadtcasino bewundert, ich habe dort 2 CDs gekauft mit Autogramm von ihm. Unvergessliche Zeiten. Er war und bleibt ein Juwel = Klenot.
fuck! absolutely brilliant. I always loved Barber's willingness to push boundaries of jazz and this demonstrates why I feel that way. A real mix. Emotional stuff.
Fantastic! At long last one of the rarest recordings of the Chris Barber Jazz & Blues Band on youtube. Thanks fortna4 for the upload. The Panton record was - in my opinion - extremely hard to get in (western) Europe. I'm happy to have an almost brand new copy of the LP. Personnel of the band: Chris Barber / tb Pat Halcox / tp John Crocker / cl, as John Slaughter / gt Stu Morrison / bjo Jackie Flavelle / bs Graham Burbidge / dr Ottilie Patterson / voc Tunes on video: - I never shall forget (not on LP) - Panama (not on LP) - Texas Moaner (bass solo) - the bass solo has been edited on the LP! The following tunes are completely on the LP: - Savoy Blues - The Weight - Czikosh - Dr. Jazz (with Ottilie Patterson) - Trixies Blues (with Ottilie Patterson)
On this video, you can see (and hear) the Jackie Flawelle's fantastic virtuosity (on bass) Best wishes to all Forna4 friends around the world. Jo Luttringer (France).
Taking advantage of having s good banjoist. For a change. Always their weak spot I thought. But what a thankless job it is: banjo in a trad band! Ottilie was the only one who even looked at Stu in this show!
