Chris Barber: A Trailblazer's Legacy (4-CD + Book, Ltd.)

(The Last Music Company) 69 tracks.

4CD set in a hardcover book. 90 pages.
Limited edition. No reprint.
Fully illustrated with many pictures ... all from Chris Barber's personal archive.
Includes articles and rare photos from Chris' racing career.
Four CDs with sixty-nine recordings spanning his entire career.
Many star guests including Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Muddy Waters, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Louis Jordan, Van Morrison, Lonnie Donegan and others.

This set of four CDs and a book, fully authorized by Chris Barber and with a playing time of approximately five hours, is a testament to the remarkable career of Chris Barber. It includes an eighteen thousand word discography and biography by Alyn Shipton and an insider's account of Barber's racing career by Dave Brodie. The music spans the seven decades from his first studio recordings in 1951 to a final session in 2018 just four months before his 89th birthday. It was made on the occasion of his 89th birthday. It includes collaborations with many other internationally known musicians.
To have led a jazz band for over seventy years would be a remarkable achievement in itself, but to have also been at the forefront of the blues revival in Britain and to have brought such pioneering musicians as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Muddy Waters, Louis Jordan and Professor Alex Bradford and many others to Britain in the first place is equally significant. The book's section is illustrated with one hundred and fifty photographs and images from
Chris Barber's private collection and other sources and is a fitting tribute to his extraordinary life.

Chris Barber

Geboren am 17. 4.1930 in Welwyn Garden City Nachdem er zuerst Violine gespielt hatte, studierte er an der Guildhall School of Music in London Posaune und Kontrabass. 1949 gründete er seine erste Amateur-Band, schon kurze Zeit danach die Band, die seit 1954 den Namen „Chris Barber's Jazz Band' trägt und heute noch besteht. Spielte sie am Anfang vor allem Musik im New-Orleans-Stil - das große Vorbild war dabei King Oliver -, so wurde die Palette der Band im Laufe der Zeit immer farbiger. Chris Barber hatte immer ein offenes Ohr für neue Entwicklungen und alle Arten von Musik, die er dann in das Repertoire seiner Band integrierte und war oft genug selbst Wegbereiter neuer Musikrichtungen.

Es war Chris Barber, der viele amerikanische Jazzmusiker zum ersten mal zu Konzerten nach Europa holte. Barber war unter anderem der Haupt- träger der „Skiffle'-Bewegung. Die Chris Barber Jazz Band ist jedes Jahr einige Wochen in der Bundesrepublik, aber auch in allen anderen europäischen und überseeischen Ländern gastiert sie regelmäßig mit vollem Erfolg.
