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.
Toll, und diese Spielfreude ist bis zum letzten Konzert bei Chris und seinenJungs geblieben . Danke Chris und Keep on the Sunnyside !!! Jockel v. 3 B `s Bus
Amazing- a Barber version of Kanonensong from Dreigroschen as well. I knew Barber was a serious academic musician,but this is a wonderful surprise. Brilliant.
Das Beste, das ich von ihm gehört habe. Warum erst heute. Traumhaft !!! Schade, daß man das nicht wiederholen kann. Es ist nicht zu toppen und ich habe viele Konzerte mit ihm erlebt. Heino Blum 80 Jahre jung.
Fantastic video ! For me (personnaly), it's nice/great/emotional to see/discover/hear "on stage" Mickey Ashman", the original bass player on "Every Body- Loves my baby" record by Chris. Mickey was one great/solid bass player in UK. Thanks for upload. After this all years, Chris play stiil today in UK with his Band.
Fantastic. Thank you so very much. If ever invited on to Desert Island Discs, one of my selections would be Chris Barber's "Le Martinique" which never seems to appear on Jazz compilations. Was lucky to be around in the 1950's so enjoyed this wonderful music. Stayed at the Grand Hotel Torquay recently which coincided with a trad jazz festival which was fantastic. So glad this music is still enjoyed and appreciated and will hopefully be discovered by current and future generations. May I just add Ken Colyer's Old Rugged Cross would also be included. Again, so many thanks.
The Martinique was always my favourite until it took second place to the flipside of Bechet's Petite Fleur: Dans les Rues d'Antibes, though I have to say that the Climax Band of Toronto have improved on Bechet's original recording. I haven't heard that Old Rugged Cross for eons, but the mere thought of it brings tears to my eyes. Better google it, eh? My Martinique is on a 7" EP dated 1954. It shares a side with Chimes Blues.
this is a fantastic post, one of the best sounding clips from the mid-60's DDR gigs, and one I hadn't seen before. A great line-up as well. Total Quality.
May I say that the last number of this East Berlin gig was an absolute high light, the drummer on this trip was an ex Dutch Swing College Band member Louis de Lussanet, as stated before.
Watching this clip brings back a lot of happy (and sometimes sad) memories. Sadly everyone in this mix is dead except me and perhaps Lou Sanett depping on drums for an injured Graham Burbidge. To all my German friends who still like Jazz I send greetings. I live quietly on the South Coast of England. Come over and see me sometime. Stu Morrison. Tenor Banjo😎👍🪕
Thanks for your reply Stu! I am from Holland and get hold of this video and put it on youtube. For traditional jazzlovers this is a great video. I liked your style of playing the banjo very much! Very nice to see a reaction of one of the bandmembers! And indeed., all of them passed away. Also Lu de Lu Sanet… Hope you are okay!
The musical quality is high and thatś more important than the tecknical quality. The melodies are: * Highway to Heaven * Mackie Messer (Mack the Knife) from the "Die 3 Groschen-Oper" music Kurt Weill * Kanonen Song from the "Die 3 Groschen-Oper" music Kurt Weill * Everybody Loves My Baby...
I talked with Chris Barber about this concert 2 years ago, since it involves another Dutch musician in the C.B. band. Graham Burbidge was not there, because he was injured. They were allready travelling allready in Germany when after a car stop the manager of that period closed a car door while Burbidge had not fully entered. So his hand was between the door........ Then they needed a replacement and hired Louis de Lussanet, who had just left the DSC.
It's the fabulous Louis de Lussanet here - he was a replacement for Graham Burbridge but they could not have had a better drummer. Actually rather better than Graham.....

What great music this is. I have enjoyed this all my life. Thank you Mr. Barber, rest in peace.
Rare indeed!! Have not heard this before,what a promise of things to come!!!!! We were so young then!!!!!
Wow! Brilliant! I would have been thirteen in 1965 - still at school and into The Beatles. Look what I was missing!

In my 30's and love this music more than any stuff thats released today ❤️
This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
RIP Chris
Music never dies
Love to Berlin
How about Pat Halcox, also RIP, before Chris Barber.
Superb ! good vocalists and top musicians at that time !!!
This is one of my most liked LP´s, bought in EastBerlin 1968!
Excellent memories. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, super !!! Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen.
Keep Swinging !!
Fantastic listening
What a tromboneplayer Chris Baber is here in Mack The Knife !
Wunderbar, großartige Musiker !

Ian Wheeler clarinet: my favorite clarinet player although not famous.pgruyer retired prof. Musician Paris
My favourite too! A beautiful tone and musicality to his playing.
J'avais 20ans !!!
In last song I couldn´t keep it and knocking in my leg when I was sitting. I look like as a fool - I´m 59!
The actual masterpiece.
Same comments as 2019 (because remember Mickey Ashman's bass playing in this own style. Best wishes to all Chris Barber's fans
Surely that's Micky Ashman on double bass, and the late, and great, John Slaughter on guitar. Wonderful stuff!
dass der Ulbricht die Band damals hat spielen lassen ist erstaunlich......toll
naja er saß sicher auch mit drin

Halcox was a truly great trumpet player.
Hervorragend
Apart from Lu de Lussanet, Micky Asman was the bass player from the Humphrey Lyttelton band.
super
Fantastic, how, where did you find it?
Schitterend or great stuff!!!!
diese "Kings Highway": Was ist das?
Chris Barber hat bei Amiga (DDR) eine Platte mit großem Orchester aufgenommen.
Ansonsten ist die Band für mich eine der Besten .
Same comments as 2022 (Micky Ashman was one "good" (with "ground notes") upright bass player. Without virtuosity... but good. Jo (France)
Ich babe Chris Barbara beim Jazz fest ingronau gesehen er hat von seiner Strahlkraft nichts eingebüßt!!!!!!
