[FS1954]

Great Musicians!!!!

[eyewoodsay]

never heared of babara???its not that bad isit.....nice...kinda sweet..she can blow that pipe 4sure

[Tarabos1]

Does anybody know, what happened to Dill Katz? Last time I saw him was with Ian Carr´s Nucleus in 1988 by a time when he also played in `District Six. I checked different sources, but there´s no trace by him since....

[DavinciSM]

Don't worry he's still alive and playing as well as he always did. You might catch him down at the 606. He's usually there with his quartet!

[libbyandjoe]

forgive my ignorance but did John Giblin play bass with Barbara ? Is that him ? anyone know?

[jykds]

The bassist is Dil Katz.

[libbyandjoe]

Thankyou.

I would like to hear more of this.

[JazzmanBerlin]

call it as you like, it' wonderful music.

just enjoy...

[rhumbaphone]

there's nothing wrong with this stuff. but no, it's not jazz by my personal definition. just because because there is an improvised solo, doesn't mean it's jazz. by your reasoning any rock or blues band could be jazz. in my view an improvised solo isn't enough. what is missing is communication. the band parts are composed/arranged from start to finish. there is little going on as far as every musician improvising as a group. this is pop and thats okay. i didn't say it was bad, just not jazz.

[1212hgross]

hi, der Titel der gehörten Nummer ist " city lights" und nicht "little annie Ooh"

[AntonHu]

Falsch, 1212hgross!

As to whether it's jazz, does the category really matter? And to paraphrase Louis Armstrong, 'any cat can play a solo, but it's hard to play a good lead'

der Moderator sagt's doch am Anfang!

[jffg1704]

Hi.

Es ist doch "Little Annie Ooh". Ich habe gerade eine alte Cassette in der Hand, dort spielt sie genau dieses Stück mit Ansage.

[RaphaelSanti1483]

Me to

[rhumbaphone]

Jazz? Instrumental pop, maybe, but not jazz. not that there's anything wrong with that...

[Ohracio1985]

... Mmm ya se de dónde sacó Kenny G su estilo, jeje aunque Barbara sonó como oboe, jajaja

[tanerath]

always loved little annie and after this re-introduction I can see why. Brilliant

[acoronab]

I like the way this woman thinks...

[kurtiklaas]

This was my first contact to this strange great music called "Jazz" - and I love it still.

Barbara (and especially this song) got a special place in my heart.

Thanks for posting!!

Way to go Mum,

Love your Little Annie-Ooh

I know this song since the early 80's and really love it. Quite often I wondered about the kid the song was dedicated to. So, after I was happy that your father created a CD of the "Live in Concert 1980" which I wished to get for years I'm now happy to see a link to the real Annie. Good luck to you and your plans and my regards to your parents.

I saw this line-up of parphernalia in Newcastle in the early 80's - hve loved Barbara T since I first heard her on ALWebber's "variations". Seen various icarnations of paraphernalia over the years since. Fantastic to see this old clip and hear this classic again. Thanks for posting

[assassin3004]

Paraphernalia is still playing today, a gig is happening in Japan in late january. Dave Ball is now on the bass, Peter Lemer is now on keyboards, and Billy Thompson is on violin, and I believe paraphernalia will have a YouTube channel soon.

Thank you god!!!

[Morgena1]

I really like Barbara, still holding the duple record bought it on a concert in Germany would never sell it to anyone.

[ciforoso]

nice t-shirt by the drummer..hehe

[Morgena1]

I still have the LP and wished to get hold of a CD version, is there anybody who could give me a idea where to get a CD ?

[izoard42]

I talked with Barbara and Jon years ago.

Unfortunately they have no rights for an reissue of thiswonderful record on cd

[iologoch]

I saw them play this round about 1980. I'd forgotten how brilliant they were live. The Selfish Giant is still my favoutite though...er.. or Frilly Bolero.. or Aliyah... or Scrummage... or...  er

[oxica]

great song! Barbara is wonderful!!!

[eswebers]

can't stop listening to this song ...
