Certainement la meilleure formation. The best one of Chris Barber bands. La plus sympathique et la plus talentueuse. Merci Monsieur Barber, thanks a lot and RIP.
Thanks for posting Bernard. As well as the excellent music, it's great to see the p*ss taking going on between Johnny, Slaughts & Pat that can only be realised from knowing them & working with them over a long period of time!😉 I miss all of them and their mischievous, naughty boy humour behind "The Speaker's" back, having been there myself!!😊
Thanks for posting this video! Although I have little comprehension of Deutch and a bit of the smattering of France' I heard, the excellent music is TRANSENDENT !! Bravo to the excellent trumpeter for his BEAUTIFUL SOLO...with great phrasing and tonality...the way I would want to play it on my trumpet !!
I think the Band is at its best in relaxed environment like this They also seem to have fun.

Merci pour cette vidéo, Bernard. J'ai fait la connaissance de Chris fin janvier 1961 (au casino de Bâle) Nous nous sommes revu 2 ou 3 fois chaque année (en Suisse ou en Allemagne), pas seulement lors de concerts mais à titre privé. Pat Halcox fut mon ami jusqu'à son décès. J'ai eu l'honneur d'avoir son fils au téléphone quelques jours après son décès. La dernière fois que j'ai vu Chris, c'était à Badenweiller avec son Big Band (avec Jackie Flawelle à la contrebasse). Amicalement à vous. JO (Thann / Alsace/France)
Людям нравится то, что они делают, и это передаётся в положительной энергии, которая излучается через музыку которую они с воодушевлением исполняют со сцены, Спасибо! Привет из Германии!
Loved Barber from the day I was born ,as a trombonist he's been one of my main influences. My dad was a trombonist aswell and loved Barber RIP Mr Barber we will keep this music alive as you did
Beautiful swing! And with the great multiartist Crocker! It is good Bernard that you show these old gems! We met on the Donau Cruise Sept 2 - 9th 2021! You were great!
Tento orchester Chris Barbers vystupoval aj v Trnave v kulturmom dome Kovosmalt n.p. - miestna štvrt Coburg možna pred cca 50 rokmi. Bol som poslucháčom, t.č. mám 83 rokov. Bolo to niečo užasne.....RIP Chris
eccezionale, travolgente swing del clarinetto John Crocker (spero sia lui) in "After You Gone": complimenti alla blues band di Chris Barber e ai musicisti tutti bravissimi
I listened to Chris Barber on BFN (British Forces Network) radio in the 1950s when I was a kid in Germany...... I much later heard him in person when he visited Vancouver, BC in 2001 and played at a quite modest venue on Main Street. I still sometimes listen to his Petite Fleur with Monty Sunshine. Ottilie Patterson with her earthy voice also sometimes performed with Chris Barber is also cool...🎻
Thank you for uploading! This concert is fantastic. Loved Vic Pitt, pat's and Johns solos. Also I've never heard 'the man I love' done this way. I'm used to Kenny balls/John Bennetts version. Brilliant! Xx
I come back to this video over and over. It's impossible to watch this performance without smiling and feeling uplifted. Difficult to pick out a favorite but "The man I love" at 39:13 is so full of humour, try listening to the Gershwin original as a contrast, the Barber band have transformed the song into something completely different and so much fun. The arrangements are perfect and carried off with perfect skill, the musicians never crowd each other out and the dynamics are crystal clear.
This is just how I remember them sounding at the 100 club in London in around 1988, just superb music. One of the gigs where the encores keep coming and nobody wants them to stop playing.
100 club was where the band was formed in the 50's . My dad had the pleasure of being in the warm up band for a Barber concert at the old Elizabeth'n Ball Room in Nottingham back in the early 60's I was there 2 yr old and ran on stage to my dad he held the horn down to me and I blew a note to a sold out concert .
so cool to see and hear jazz come full circle back to half its roots in european marching music, much of it from GERMANY. LUVED the upright bass dixie solo ...too bad your audience was a bit "anemic".
How do we preserve this amazing music for the future? Digital tracks carved in granite blocks? These stone pillars are then placed next to the Stonehenge- monument?
Hire more music teachers all over the world. What the world desperately needs now is people around the world getting together playing music helps understand each other.
Chris enlargened his band from seven to eight pieces in 1977 by hiring Sammy Rimington and kept it an eight piece until 2001 when his band became the "Big Chris Barber Band" featuring eleven musicians. Sammy was replaced by Ian Wheeler in 1979 who had been replaced by John Crocker in 1968 when Ian left the band the first time. I am a fan of them all - just my opinion and taste.
I lisning them over 50 years. They are the best on their kategory
Die beste Band aus meiner Jugend. Heute immer noch super!,
Certainement la meilleure formation. The best one of Chris Barber bands. La plus sympathique et la plus talentueuse. Merci Monsieur Barber, thanks a lot and RIP.
Johnny McCallum just passed away end of June 2021, and 2 days ago (July 29, 2021) we lost Vic Pitt.
Thank you for the music ......RIP Chris Barber.....I saw you for the first time in the Kurzaal in Scheveningen in 1958.....you are a legend.....
Terrific! Many thanks for posting
Chris Barber was a regular in
Lucerne every second year and over a decade and I was always there in the audience too.
What I great band. This is probably the best line-up that Chris ever had. I've been a fan of the Barber band since 1960
I agree !
Very nice memories!

What a band. Been listening to them for more than 60 years

My wife and I saw the band in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia in 1991 at the Dom Kultúry Ružinov - great performance, especially "Going Up the River"!

Crocker plays like God, I really like him among others. Barber and his guys make great music.
Each video I see of this band is better than all the rest. This one too. Fantastic!
I first saw Chris Barber in 1958:in Birmingham UK I still listen to his band .
Loved Barber from the day I was born ,as a trombonist he's been one of my main influences. My dad was a trombonist aswell and loved Barber RIP Mr Barber we will keep this music alive as you did

❤Yes, not only some of the best British jazzers ever but such a happy band which comes over on stage.

Thank you for all that good old dixieland jazz! 🎵
AND BLUES!!! going up the river
Chris Barber - the best
so cool and creative to play "the man Ilove" as a DIXIELAND piece...sounds good !
Royal garden blues "sticky" on drums. 🖐️🖐️
Didnt he ramble. Great drumming 🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
These guys have fun and me too. Die Jungs haben Spaß und ich auch.

Johnny mc callum awsome guitarist

Pozauna OK krasny ton nadhera
Does anyone listening remember the 1950s at the crown hostelry Sunday nights in Mansfield with Eric peat and his good time jazz men?. I do.
These guys are from New Orleans, love 'em,😂🎉
Chris Barber and his band were from England but steeped in the tradition of New Orleans traditional jazz.😊
@@jazz1944 I like jazz
me gusto el blue de guitarra
How do we preserve this amazing music for the future?
Digital tracks carved in granite blocks? These stone pillars are then placed next to the Stonehenge- monument?
Yes, Mats! That would be THE location.
Hire more music teachers all over the world. What the world desperately needs now is people around the world getting together playing music helps understand each other.
I’m ready to Charleston, fellas!
R.I.P.
Fantastic

A part le Dutch Swing College Band, aucun groupe n'a atteint ce niveau exceptionnel !

Foutstream jazzband
Kansas City - OK!!!
Where exactly was this recorded?
Subway, Cologne
Why would a drummer bring a SONOR kit worthy of Soft Machine to a Dixieland gig?
NO IDEA
Sponsored by Sonor for exposure Fabian
Chris and his band weren't ones to follow conventions. And Alan "Sticky" Wicket absolutely kicks arse with that kit, it sounds fantastic.
'Cos he enjoys playing on it ? This is more than a 'Dixieland' gig...😂
je to skvely orchester .

Why Crocker when Ian Wheeler was the best clarinetist over many years. Didn't need both!
Chris enlargened his band from seven to eight pieces in 1977 by hiring Sammy Rimington and kept it an eight piece until 2001 when his band became the "Big Chris Barber Band" featuring eleven musicians.
