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.
A lifetime fan (since the fifties), never get tired of Barber and pals, never missed a concert at Birmingham Town Hall and anywhere else in the country that I have been close to a venue. TH-cam now making me very happy.
Immer wieder eine Freude den "alten" Chris Barber zu hören. Da werden Erinnerungen wach an die starke Zeit des Dixielands Ende der Fünfziger und Anfang der Sechziger. Aber auch heute ist Chris noch voll im Saft. Herrlich.
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.
I too enjoyed the 50´s with all the great names in trad. jazz. Even when the then not too well known Lonnie played mandolin in Monty Sunshine´s band in Bryanston Street, Marble Arch. Still my most favourite music, always will be!!
John Slaughter once came back to my house in East Acton. After a concert in Southall. He was friends with my brother.Vic Gibbons. Whom was a publicist and agent to the band for a few years in the sixties and seventies.
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.
Fantastic! I saw the original band except for Donnegan in Holland, when Barber must have been approaching his 90s. My partner was absolutely overwhelmed...
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 :)
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.
This fantastic parademarch is also our signature song. Thank you very much Chris and wellcome again to Finland. Sincerely yours , Alvi's Dixie Stompers
Chris Barber is the ultimate in traditional jazz. I've been following this band since the early seventies and nothing comes near it, apart from the dutch Swing College Band.
Dit chanre muziek is van vroegere tijden en slaat niet meer aan bij de jongere generatie ik ben 86 jaar oud dit is mijn lieveling muziek wees blij dat TH-cam dit mogelijk maakt geweldig
If I did not state it earlier I would like to add that I love Chris Barber and his band, would it be the new ensemble or the original performers. Always a pleasure to listen and dance to. Thanks for sharing.
@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
starý ,výborný Jazz, Barbers je neprekonatelný, spomína 85 ročný sopliak , Počul a videl som skupinu na živo u nás na Slovensku ešte za doby , ery československej republiky
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.
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 ;)
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
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.
Minutos 2:20 pero que cantidad de matices exquisitas tonalidades una deliciosa melodía felicitaciones al señor del banjo y la orquesta en general suena una maravilla
This of course is the Barber Band theme tune. I first heard him play this at the Odeon cinema in Plymouth more years ago than I care to remember back in the 50's. Loved his style ever since, very precise with no ragged edges. OK I know the early bands were that way, but they were enthusiastic amatures who started jazz, but lacked the precision that's needed to create a great sound. Sorry to say this of the early bands - I know they're at the roots of it all

A fantastic arrangement and band. Thanks.
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....
Thanks for sharing another gem by Chris Barber and Jazz is still popular and will be till I die with me. Always moves me with full energy around.
They are perfect! Saw Barber live many time, always a treat!
J'aime tout simplement
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.
outstanding music .... since my childhood I loved the Chris Barber band !!
Simply the very best! Crocker and Sealy - extra human!
What a nice unusual banjo solo!
Thats New Orleans Jazz of my mind..
I love it.....
Sticky Wicket on drums!! Brilliant!
Saw Chris barber few years ago Halesworth the cut was as good as ever .
Excellent musical performance by the Chris Barber Band.

Un GRANDE!
Luv Chris. Has anyone got Merrydown Rag? My favourite.
Superb!
I'm now 65 & trad jazz is the only thing I like. Why is it not around anymore? I don't understand all this modern crap.
Wonderful❤😂
Un MAESTRO!
Al trombone!
Written by Paul Barabin, then immediately given to Frank Assunto and The Dukes of Dixieland, who were the first band to play it.
Correct spelling is 'Barbarin.'
