my clip comment:
In a reunion concert series to celebrate the band's 40th anniversary the Chris Barber Jazz Band plays Bobby Shaftoe, a tune they had recorded in the mid fifties for the first time. Chris had found some of the former members of the band for this set of the concert. Trumpet/cornet player Pat Halcox is still in the band, former members are Monty Sunshine clarinet, Jim Bray bass and Colin Bowden drums.
When I think of my early days of playing in the Netherlands I remember using this Barber arrangement for my own group. Then when I immigrated to Canada in 1966 and joined the Climax Jazz Band in 1971 I introduced this same arrangement there as well. I left Climax some 10 years ago, but I believe the band still plays it, and I'm sure in that same Barber arrangement.

Perfektní přednes kapely
You always remember your first Jazz concert !! Mine was 1959: Chris Barber at the Gaumont Theatre Taunton, Somerset. Living in Vancouver for almost 53 years I have not got to see him very often, but I wish him now a very happy retirement.

Unfortunately not true, of me anyway. I think probably the first concert I went to was Lonnie Donegan, not really jazz. I can mind whom I saw but not when or where. I never was Barber in the early years but I saw him about 10 years ago in Aberdeen when he had the bigger band. It was very good as well. Part of the concert was with the small Dixieland band, and then the other players came on and he started playing more what they used to call Mainstream and Swing. Still excellent.
I love Monthy Sunshine style he was one of the best Jazz clarinet players. No need to mention that the Chris Barber JB was and still is one of the best around.Thanks for sharing

Monty Sunshine was a fine player with a consistently beautiful tone that was very recognisable. However, Ian Wheeler who came after Sunshine left, was probably an even better player in terms of huge inventiveness, both in solos and ensemble. Still, I enormously enjoy Monty Sunshine, and listen to him often. That superb tone of his was something to die for, and he's in great form here.
Fantastic
This was in 1994 (not 1990!), celebrating the 40th anniversary of Chris Barber's professional band which was founded on May 31st 1954. The "1954 band" would play the first half followed by the current band in the second half. Here we see and hear founding members Chris (tb), Pat Halcox (tp), Monty Sunshine (cl) and Jim Bray (b). Lonnie Donegan (bj) was sidelined by a cold for a day or two so Johnny McCallum stepped in. Original drummer Ron Bowden could not do the whole tour, so here it's COLIN Bowden who covered parts of it. This was filmed in Rastatt, Germany.
Smart stuff on the cornet from Pat! This is the first Barber tune I really knew; it was on an EP with I think Tishomingo Blues and Merrydown Rag, and something else I guess.
Great to hear Pat on Cornet
It's all a matter of taste. Chris made a clever move in 2001 to enlarge his front line permanently. It gave the band even more possibilities and (I mean this in a very positive and sympathetic way) Chris and Pat have "assistance" from Bob Hunt and Mike Henry. If one prefers the whole band firing on all cylinders or tunes played by the six piece outfit, Chris as always offers something for everyone. All the guys in the band are fantastic, can't wait to hear and see them again in April.
If this don't move yo feet, yo deed
Colin Bowden the must celebrated jazz drummer from Suffolk
Such a neighbour, a fellow gooseberry picker ,never forgotten.
i went to shaftoe trust first school when i was young
Lonnie was sick that day so Johnny McCallum, the then banjo/guitar player from the Blues and Jazz Band, subbed for him.
dad, you rock
:-)

looks to me as if Pat was going to play behind monty's solo [would have been super] but Barber was having none of that..
Monty played this music with the superb Geoff Downs on drums right to the end.
We were his 'barnet formation team' of Jivers.
It is the superb Colin Bowden on the drums, see and hear " Thatś a plenty" from the same concert
