John Slaughter early days on blues guitar absolutely wonderful. We all miss you very much. First saw him at Barnet Jazz club late 60's early 70's he made such a difference to the already well established band so well done Chris for adding him to the line up.

Also, what a great concert!
was this barber's best band??? how good to see and hear the great Pete York who taught me so much in his break times. Undoubtedly one of the best ever at his art!!!
With the Hendrix influenced guitar , bass ,drums, fiery trumpet ,John Cocker’s forceful alto sax and Chris “dirty sound on trombone , the start of blues funk as good as any band today in December 2021.
Thank you for the information. Thank you, too, for the performances of the Chris Barber Band presented by you on RU-vid, for example 'Chris Barber's Jazz and Blues Band 1989'. Good to know that Barber's music is cared for on RU-vid. Best wishes!
unfortunately, guitarist, slaughter, was aptly named....he butered the first solo....no syncopation (swing) and out of the chord structure....badly....not listening further, despite others sounding good!
