0255 Chris Barber [At the London Palladium] FLAC 8(45.50)

 

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
This was from a live Jazz News Poll Winners concert held in March 1961 at the London Palladium.
A typical Barber performance with a couple of vocals by Ottilie Patterson and, quite surprisingly, two tracks featuring altoist Joe Harriott. Whether Joe was present for the whole performance is not clear but it good to hear him in any company, although he is 'off mike' for some of the time and is fighting against the drummer who is over recorded. I wonder whether there was other material by other groups recorded at this concert?
'Creole Love Call' is not one of my favourite Ellington tunes and Barber very drearily does it to death here taking over eight minutes to do so. Duke said it all in under three minutes.
One for the Barber completists perhaps but don't ignore Joe's contribution.

0013 Chris Barber [Barber's Best] FLAC 4(12.57)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Many people in the UK were first introduced to jazz through the music of Chris Barber (I was one) who has now been playing and leading various groups for over 55 years. 
Chris played, and still does to a large extent, what came to be known as Traditional Jazz and it had a huge following in the 1950s although over the years. He broadened his musical style and played on a regular basis with such 'modernists' as Joe Harriott.
Here in recordings from 1954 and 1955 with his regular group the band plays typical music from that period. Lonnie Donegan, who played banjo for a while with Barber, went on to have a successful musical career in the pop/folk world and was one of the leaders in introducing the 'skiffle' sound to the UK.  One of his forgettable hits was 'My Old Man's A Dustman'
