How many great jazz clarinet players are there! Monty you were great! R.I.P ( from Pete 'Kiwi' Keegan veteran skiffle & blues performer of the 1950's)

Saddened to read below that Monty has passed on. He often used to visit The Sakespeare Hotel at Woolwich , which was the home of The Hot Club of London. It was run by that great pioneer of British jazz, George Webb in the late fifties and sixties. Monty used to join our small group of fans in the intervals to tell us the latest dirty joke and to collect even more. A great guy and a great musician. I bet he's up there in heaven jamming away with the all time greats.

R.I.P Monty Sunshine :'(

[turnitback]

This is beautiful! Monty and the whole band are brilliant, but I think Colin Bowden deserves a mention for the distinctive sound that comes from a band whenever he is involved.

[AvioChris]

Everytime I hear this it gives me tears and it has done for some 50 years.

[davidatownsend]

I'm now 70 - still am de best - look for Ottilie Patterson (sometime Chris Barber's wife) was she a soul singer, and those eyes!

[skippergonzo]

Monty is my clarinet hero

[jphar]

I love this, any version by him. I used to watch him in the early '50's (I'm 74) and he still gets to me. Have you seen my duet

version? I called it 'Monty twice'.

[Todaylight]

Outstanding!

[pesufa]

Merci

[pugmire1]

I can vividly remenber the Barber band at the Trent Bidge Hotel in 1956. Little did we know we were listening to one of the great bands that would still be going strong 35 years later. What a performance through thick and thin. That is genius.

[davidatownsend]

I still don't believe it after 50 years

[seedeehen]

one of my favourits

[bszwed]

Wonderful!

[HMOjala]

O boy, layed in such a great style.

[davidatownsend]

I was 15 when I heard this at the Drill Hall in Northampton, Chris Barber, Ottilie Patterson and Monty etc., man dem was de days! I'm 69 now and this still moves me down to my boots.

[erwigfilms]

I was 17 when I had my first LP of this in Holland. I am now 72 and I'm so glad I found it on film and am able to share it. I became a musician and played with Monte in 1984 in Toronto. A magnificent musician and person!

[Eddiemachen]

A brilliant video - I saw this actual performance in the early nineties, and it was even more awesome to hear this live

[schmetterling107]

das hat jemand auf der Beerdigung von meiner mutter gesungen
