Chris Barber - Bourbon Street Parade

[playthatgeetar]

My Dad took me to see Chris many times when I was a kid. This is so sweet. Monty's solo is a cracker. My American wife comes from NO. I am looking forward to going where she comes from for a mint julep on Bourbon Street with the best music in the world being played where it comes from. Heaven!

[lazyman300Mph]

Awesome Swing Theme...Hats Off !!!

[mcfrdmn]

Excellent musical performance by the Chris Barber Band.

[Watchthis7777777]

Life is to short. Not worried about what people think about my taste in music. Love this and just about all genres of music. Can you feel it...... Love it.... Thank you.

[Goodheart1937]

It doent get better than this.

[theo18o444]

Abslute Klasse. Toll!!! Habe ich schon einmal live erlebt, immer wieder ein Genuss

[Camberdown10]

I used to see Chris Barber in the fifties playing in Putney at St Mary's Hall. Rosemary Clooney would sometimes sing and Lonnie Donnegan would playa couple of skiffle songs, often My Old Man's a dustman! I was very young but they were happy days full of fun.

[bstrutt]

i used to attend the hot club of london in the fifties and saw and met chris many times and when Lonnie became popular gave two hours to him .does any one remember this place .It was in Woolwich.Living in Essex i crossed on the old steam ferry but was often held up by boats entering the Docks .Happy Days

[BradleyHoare]

I'm 15 years old and this song is what enticed me towards jazz.

[andersoulful]

If you don't like this style of music why should anyone who does, care what you think?

It introduced me to Jazz I went on to discover Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, and lots of other great musicians. So if you are not into it stick your comments up your Arse

[erg505]

prekrasna rytmicka klasika new orleans v modernom prevedeni- fantasticke !

[MultiTerryCat]

I've heard this many years ago courtesy of my dad's vinyl anniversary concert album, so it's a great pleasure to be able to see them in action on video. Thanks very much for posting.

[stevebudy]

I love you Chris, you are my idol

[andrzejpawlowski]

Stary , dobry jazz ! Klasyka - SUPER !

[TorbenGalster]

I have the pleasure to see him a couples of time in Copenhagen. Thats realy traditionel jazz when it´s best. I think this is one the best eksamples of Bourbon Street.

[nelson1eye]

whoever this Platschheimer is seems to have a real downer on Chris Barber. He's posted disparaging remarks on most Chris Barber videos. Obviously he has no taste whatsoever, oh! Hang on, I just looked at his profile. He posted likes on some other videos. That confirms it, no taste at all.

[Platschheimer]

176 people havent got ears

[Platschheimer]

One of the worst bands there are on this planet.

[martinpaulie]

earl of wessex nah hes got no talent

[mhicmaca]

Dear Oliver Heath,

I too was at that concert - aged 13: I was able to be there, and go backstage, because the father of my best friend was part of the organising committee. It contributed to my lifelong enthusiam for all kind of music but especially jazz and blues.

[Abriggs500]

Monty Sunshine died on November 20 , 2010. :( That is sad.....

[OliverHeath]

Was 16 in 1956 when I first heard this sound at Battersea Town Hall. Well, last night I heard it again and Boy, that Chris is still jumping at 80!! A true immortal-

and refreshingly modest in today's celebrity- mad world.

[Resholden]

The Earl of Wessex on Drums???

[evkabevka4]

Fantasia keby niekdo hľadal klarinet tak vie kde ma hľadať:))))

[evkabevka4]

[nellie2581]

Great

[drazzouk]

Wonderful, JOHN!!!

[KassyWeight]

XD

!!!!!!!!

[0ldblueslover]

First heard Chris play this one around 1950 - down at the Odeon in Plymouth. Totally diferent line up. Pat Halcox was the only one left as far as I can see. In those days Monty Sunshine was on clarinet, Lonnie Donegan on banjo, Jim Bray bass and Ron Bowden drums and of course there was always a skiffle session as well. Happy days.

[76trombones007]

Great music! Why aren't the great drummer and bass player mentioned?

[klikonojazz]

@76trombones007 On bass it's Vic Pitt

[zelde025]

Met alle respect voor Chris Barber en Pat Halcox maar geef mij de bezetting uit de vijftiger jaren. De gitarist hadden ze thuis moeten laten.

Het slot-collectief is om te huilen!

[sambata77]

Quando si dice la vera musica.. a buon indenditori bravissimi.. ormai ne sono rimasti pochi band come vo----------i goood

[Onplezierig]

[MrRensink]

[Imst92]

[MarinerCayPilot]

is Chris Barber still around? I've just discovered him... he is the best!

[tommyrockon]

+ John Slaughter on Guitar, Vic Pitt on bass and Alan "sticky" Wicket on drums

[walcote1]

I was lucky to see Chris at Demont, Leics

many years ago he's still magic!!

[ResistanceForever]

did the bald singer call new orleans the best city?

[tjarktjarktjark]

I LOVE CHRIS BARBER HES SO CUTE!

[rickzette]

i grew up with trad jazz and Chris Barber was always the best of the best. So sad that Jazz isn't as popular as it was back then.

[trombonistpete]

I couldn't agree with you more. I am 17 and find it oh so frustrating when my friends are listening to rock or modern "music", often they wont even give trad a chance. Still doesn't stop me enjoying it :)

[MarinerCayPilot]

@trombonistpete Pete, I'm 80 and have recently started up the trombone again.. after 55 years off.. keep it up... glad to hear some in your generation understand real music

[lesterwyoung]

What lovely clarinet playing!

[les7223]

The only sick thing is the person who makes sick comments. Chris Barber played MUSIC not the horrible noises that are around today

[richieburns1]

Nice Drumming sticky !!!!

[jhnb12876]

nice

[TCBSonny]

They are perfect! Saw Barber live many time, always a treat!

[admarouf]

[kaszmen7]

świetny puzonista:):)

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

Agreeable jazz song

[Petethepedalopirate]

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Mr barber and shaking his hand. He's a very nice man. It was a great evening too, they opened with this and it bought the house down!

[cylaisawesome]

One of my dreams is to see Chris Barber preform, but lately it seems he is only touring the UK. D= He has to come down to South soon or I'll be sad. D=

[schefzik20]

not long ago he was in austria ;D thats where i was ^^

[schefzik20]

indeed a very nice guy and a great jazz player they opened with this song as well when i saw them live ! and yes i even could have a short chat with him ;)

[randuska]

I gotta their 2 cd packet with signation from all of them!

[Kornello]

we will play it with our school jazz band. And I'll play the guitar =) hope there will be a record of this show.

[osmplayer5]

geweldig,dit is muziek en dit zijn vakmensen

[VanWhistler]

Drummer is Alan "Sticky" Wickett. Seen them live at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield nearly 10 years ago.

[trompettor]

John Crocker?

I guess it stand for John Clarinet Rocker

[gambatula]

i love how you can't hear the main melody because of the clarinet. lovely

[elFiffinio]

love this one, where's the rest of this concert? could u please upload "the big noise" too?

[NooSii]

Es genial, es precioso

[frankgall]

Great vocal.

[ninatothehenry]

yayyyy my dad's in this band :D

[dickdona]

Luv Chris. Has anyone got Merrydown Rag? My favourite.

[re6356]

Another cracker, could listen to these guys all day.

[kodkodkod]

whats wrong with you guys, Barbers Bands have always been adept at drawing on diverse musical sources. How else could somebody have such a long and influential carrear. Brilliant all of it!!! long may he continue!!! on subject of guitarists, I always thought Mcallum was a class act!

[Rainsterman]

Sounds to me that Chris has lost his Trad roots and is going down Mainstream Road pretty fast !

[winnentoe]

For 4 days ago in Amersfoort Holland, it was a really great show, Petite Fleur was also just like this one fantastic!

[cashchecks]

What's the matter with you guitar opponents? Are you still living in the middle ages? It took you a long, long time, to realize that there's a guitar player in Chris' band. His name is John Slaughter for those of you who don't know that. He joined the band in 1964 for the first time, left in 1978 to be replaced by Roger Hill until his return in 1986.

[shoilang]

Guitar has no place in a trad jazz band also group looks a bit to "ritzy" for me

[domrafan]

Agree with pneqsd. Why on earth did Chris bring in the guitar? Quite superfluous. The chords sound far more crisp on banjo. It just muddies up the beautiful ensemble sound they always had

[rvsassy]

my uncle was roger hill and he was the bassist or guitarist in chris barber

[ohisashiburi]

It's TRAD Dad!

[rolfskuncke]

mkt bra

[Andreuot]

magnífic!!

[pnegsd]

The Guitar spoils it!1

[hapeverse]

Right!

[klactv]

Some seven years ago I heard them live and I was surprised by the drive, the professional behaviour and especially the dignity of Barber's group. Seasoned musicians who manage to refresh their music. A great achievement!

[plvanooik]

de versie van "concert for the BBC" is beter

[trzaxw]

Magnifique!!!!

[mstupidbritishperson]

the sax kills it

[digichris01]

I think it fits perfect

[BEATNIKCASS]

CHRIS was the one who turned me onto jazz when i was a teenage rocker hoodlum---thanks to him and Kenny Ball  my tastes grew a little....

[max1941]

as all of them friends of my dear Manny Schmelzer,its again a pleasure to watch and listen you,now living in Spain,me,the argentine Grand Marshall MAX (2007)

[DADRENO]

Chris' signature tune. Thanks for that!
