Here's a fun story for you jazz lovers out there. During the late 60's Chris played here in Bristol at a well known jazz pub. He went to his hotel after he played and they said he was too late. So my aunty took him in for the night and he slept on her couch.

Wonderful !

Have been listening to Traditional jazz for 63 years I never tired of it

One of their best and enjoyable. Thanks

Chris Barber's Jazz is healing , relaxing, and makes the world happy !

Trompette, clarinette,saxo ténor ,banjo, contrebasse tous ces musiciens sont extraordinaires.

Had the pleasure of seeing and meeting chris barber when he played at Nantwich jazz festival one year. As i said to him as we bought a couple of cds from him personally at the stall during the interval. Never saw the best gigs as they were done before i was born, or at least 3 or 4 years after i was born. But he was so approachable, friendly,chatty, it was like meeting your favourite uncle. He said, oh you want that one, and he signed it. I still have it.

Chris Barber ist für mich ein Genie, für mich die beste Jazz Band und seine speziellle und typische Art zu spielen haben mich fasziniert, vor allem seine wunderschönen Blues Nummern. Wir haben ihn beim Konzert in Basel am 27.Februar 1992 im Stadtcasino bewundert, ich habe dort 2 CDs gekauft mit Autogramm von ihm. Unvergessliche Zeiten. Er war und bleibt ein Juwel = Klenot.

merveilleux CHRIS BARBER !!!!!!!!!

Brought proper jazz to UK that we all still enjoy.. Rest in Peace Chris and gang

Brilliant one of UKs BEST JAZZ BAND

Barber and pals are making me very happy in old age. Isn't youtube wonderful.

One of the best Dixie jazz bands ever

Sunday nights at Greenfield Jazz Club always the end of our weekends late 50s early 60s. Chris Barber, Acker Bilk, regulars on the circuit. Still play their records but now in South Africa. My sons will I hope enjoy my collection of music once I clock off.

We traditional jazz enthusiasts owe a tremendous debt to Chris Barber forfueling and driving the revival of this great music and spreading iits joy to the rest of the world. And he stayed true to the music for a full half century

This is traditional jazz at its very best!!

Das war die Lieblingsband meines verstorbenen Mannes, for him they were the best.

To prawdziwa muza,można słuchać i słuchać bez końca,dziękuję za możliwość wysłuchania i serdecznie pozdrawiam.

Nobody to replace the wonderful Chris Barber Band! God rest them all!

C est un quintets du tonner de dieu! ...good! ..a voir sans hesiter. Bravo.

I first listened to Chris Barbers Jazz band in 1953 at the Fishmongers Arms pub in Wood Green North London.Ottilie Patterson whom he later married ,sang blues. The hall where they played was at the side of the pub,it was gas lit and the stage lighting was candles on barrels at the front of the stage.Me and my mates jived all night sweating profusely and loving it.

Love the ring of the banjo, heck, they are all great!!!!! NH

I heard this line-up live in Deventer, Netherlands and I''ll never forget the dignity and dedication with which they played.

I was very proud to be singing with New City Jazzmen on the same bill as Chris Barber - what a wonderful night all those years ago. Such wonderful music...

Vic Pitt is an outstanding Bass Player as is the rest of this Band. I guess by now some may have passed away. Heaven must have one Kick Arse Band by now. Great stuff indeed.

How dare they, they played as if they were enjoying it, still loving it after all these years.

Bravo Chris Barber,belle mélodie, très beau son.

Geweldig,het is met volle teugen genieten!☺️🥁🎷🎺🎸🎻

I’m with you Dave.Takes me back a few years.

Loved it, Thanks for the sweet memory.

Kapela číslo 1to nemá chybu.😊❤

Love this group! Appreciate the old songs. We built memories on them.

That slap bass is mesmerising, & I lover Chris Barber👍

I've been a fan of Chris Barber since my teens and hope to go to the next life with him playing me out of this one!!!

Great band all of them. Chris was the most inventive of the 'trad' band leaders: skiffle, blues the lot. Will be missed

WHAT A LEGACY. THE YOUNG WILL NEVER HEAR IT SADLY

Chris und seine Band waren die Besten 👍

Merci j’apprécie beaucoup car c’est encore de ma génération et de voir cette entente

Perfektní mixáž.Diky moc nemá to chybu ještě jednou díky.😊❤

If you're in a bad mood all you have to do is listen to this particular tune by this particular group and you will come up immediately!!! I know because I've done it several times!

Loved The Chris Barber Band especially Pat Halcox but they were all great

I could listen to Chris forever; we are the same age and both play trombone; one of us is quite a bit better than the other! 🎹🎼🎺👍🤡

C’est beau le jaz après avoir exposé le thème chacun s’exprime à son tour en respectant les harmonies moi j’aime 👍

At a down moment I came across Turk Murphy that made me kick up feet in the old little opera style house with the red belvet curtains .Yescitsvtrue who doesnt get a smile and wants to get up snd kick thier feet up again Thanks Turk Murphy and Frisco Band for the great fun memories...♥️

I love Ian Wheeler's clarinet. Beautiful tone. Wonderful musicality.

I’ve seen them about 25 years ago in Groningen. This is no music, this is art at it’s finest.

Just doesn't get any better than this, great bass line.

Siete bravissimi, eccezionali.

Superbi e oltre al Berto fiorentini civitavecchia

super muzyka .To wspaniale można tańczyć.jest wspaniały rytm

saw them at st.helens theatre royal on my 21st, I'm 72 now and still my favourite band, they had Graham Burbidge and John Slaughter then, still got the card the band signed for me.

c'est la grande classe, on voyage en musique et en rythme !! bravo !!

Diese Genialen Solisten alle zu nennen .. bedarf eines Albums ... weiter so ...!!!

Top Chris Barber's jazz band!!!!

totally terrific. best mix I've heard in a hell of a lot of vids. That bass was beautiful... and the whole thing pounding along like a horse at full gallop being urged at every stride....

been a fan since 1949!. chris ,monty, etc 50 years plus - regards to all that left,Den of Twickenham.

I was at a concert in Glasgow in 1959, they were great then and they are still wonderful to listen to, real music.

Happy - relaxing - full of rythm - - love this band since my teens in the 1960’es 🤓 👍

Piękna muzyczka.....nogi same tańczą.....słuchać tego można bez końca !!!!...pozdrawiam nałogowych dixilandmanów !!!!

Я вообще люблю диксиленд. Пару лет тому нашел в записях 30-х группу Chris Barber, Восхищен! Восхищен и творческим долголетием Mr.Barber и его коллег - Pat Halcox, John Crocker, Jan Wheeler..

This jazz formation is famous!!!

Vic Pitt...…..one of the finest ever string bassists IMO!!! (& I WAS a string bass player for 30 years...but not in Vic's league!)

Excellent Brawo Respekt.

Great banjo player.Incidentally,a certain Mr Lonnie Donegan was the erstwhile banjo player for this man's band,pre-skiffle era!

Best of the best

My lovely Dad joined Chris, and some of his band, in a hotel in Stockport in the early eighties where they were all staying, for a few beers and laughs. Dad said Chris Barber was very nice, and was encouraging when he was told that my Dad had a son who played trombone(me). It is wonderful to hear that such a fine musician was also such a gentleman. RIP DAD and Chris Barber. This music will always bring you back to us. Thank you for uploading.

Chris barber. Quelle virtuosité. On sent la joie de faire de la musique. Bravo et merci

Pięknie, pięknie.....można tego słuchać...."na okrągło".....podziw i pozdrowienia !!!

Sooo sweet! Beautiful, my daughter and I enjoyed it immensely! I especially loved "You Wore A Tulip."

All this music on KZfaq should be called HAPPY MEMORIES!

That banjo is what got me in the heart

John Crocker .. Pat Halcox .. Ian Wheeler ..Chris Barber .. Alan Wicked .. " Sticky " and Vic Pit .. Eine Geniale Combo ..!

Very nice,, The bass is kicking!

I grew up listening to Barber and Halcox during the trad jazz boom - Now I listen to Tuba Skinny

I love it

Thanks for the video. If this doesn't get your foot tapping...YOU MUST HAVE A WOODEN LEG ! Hopefully this music will never die. Thanks
