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!

...some people are so rude and insulting on here! -perhaps they are only young children who've not yet learnt the language?- in contrast Chris Barber is a thoroughly nice chap! -I saw his Show in Margate (that's in England!) last week with his bigger band, and it was wonderful -so there!

@Rekku9 " I'd like to rip your head off and shit down your throat." First: You would die trying. Second: These aren't your own words. It's a quotation from Full Metal Jacket you haven't marked as such. You're a plonker. Third: What makes you so sure I like Justin Bieber?

@Platschheimer I'd like to rip your head off and shit down your throat. Go listen to Justin Bieber and wank yourself senseless.
