Johnny McCallum just passed away end of June 2021, and 2 days ago (July 29, 2021) we lost Vic Pitt.

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

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

Chris Barber was a regular in Lucerne every second year and over a decade and I was always there in the audience too.

Doesn’t come much better than this. Great 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

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!

Thank you for all that good old dixieland jazz! 🎵

I first saw Chris Barber in 1958:in Birmingham UK I still listen to his band .

Chris Barber - the best

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...🎻

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

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!

1 would like their playlist.

Crocker plays like God, I really like him among others. Barber and his guys make great music.

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

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 .

Terrific! Many thanks for posting

These guys have fun and me too. Die Jungs haben Spaß und ich auch.

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)

Royal garden blues "sticky" on drums. 🖐️🖐️ Didnt he ramble. Great drumming 🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️

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!!😊

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

MAGNIFIC

Je to skutečně špičková kapela,tohle obsazení neznám.Diky,Smekam.😊❤

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.

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

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.
