In a reunion concert series to celebrate the band's 40th anniversary the Chris Barber Jazz Band plays Hiawatha Rag, a tune they had recorded in the mid fifties for the first time. Chris had found some of the former members of the band for this set of the concert. Trumpet/cornet player Pat Halcox is still in the band, former members are Monty Sunshine clarinet, Jim Bray bass and Colin Bowden drums.
When I think of my early days of playing in the Netherlands I remember using this Barber arrangement for my own group. Then when I immigrated to Canada in 1966 and joined the Climax Jazz Band in 1971 I introduced almost this same arrangement there as well. I left Climax some 10 years ago, but I believe the band still plays it, and I'm sure in that same arrangement. It was one of our most requested tunes at the many festivals we played. Thank you Chris!
This was in 1994 (not 1990!), celebrating the 40th anniversary of Chris Barber's professional band which was founded on May 31st 1954. The "1954 band" would play the first half followed by the current band in the second half. Here we see and hear founding members Chris (tb), Pat Halcox (tp), Monty Sunshine (cl) and Jim Bray (b). Lonnie Donegan (bj) was sidelined by a cold for a day or two so Johnny McCallum stepped in. Original drummer Ron Bowden could not do the whole tour, so here it's COLIN Bowden who covered parts of it. This was filmed in Rastatt, Germany.
I also saw this show on their tour at the Leas Cliff Hall, Folkstone, England, it was superb.
Master musicians ! Beats what passes for "music"now !! Rap.for starters !
I remember Jiving to this tune ( among others ) played by the Chris Barber band at the Fishmongers Arms in Wood Green north London in the mid 1950's.The band sounds just as good now as it did then.I was 14yrs old & still at school when I first went to the Fishmongers arms to listen to traditional jazz and learned to skip jive there.I really enjoyed listening and dancing to Ottilie Patterson's blues,I was later introduced to Bessie Smiths recordings and realised that Ottilie may have been influenced by Bessie Smith,one of my favourite blues that Otillie sang was "Make me a pallet on the floor"she put so much feeling into it..
amazing, good ole time feeling.
OOOOOOOO MAGNIFICO
Ik ben verschillende keren naar een concert van hun geweest. Heb enorm genoten!
Fantastisch !!!!!
Yes, no doubt about it. You can see the two icons on his drum set. He has had those same drums for many many years now. Still going strong! (I'm married to his daughter Laurel)
What a wonderful tune. I just heard The New Black Eagles playing this today in Sherborn Ma.

Is that Colin Bowden on drums??He was the ultimate drummer in this style of jazz
Has Monty used a fresh reed here? Or one not wet enough? He sounds a bit different than usual.
Barber over Bieber.
Who is beiber and what does he play???????
In 40 years they'll remember Chris Barber and his Jazz BAnd but will they remember justin Beiber??
Doubt it.
