Chris Barber at the BBC: Wireless Days 1961-1962

CD-Charts > Music > Traditional Jazz
by: Chris Barber

Release Date March 13, 1999
When the recordings on this CD were made in 1961-1962 the BBC Jazz Club was a weekly radio programme, and Chris Barber's Jazz Band was riding the "trad jazz" boom. The musicians were all inspired by early jazz of New Orleans and Chicago and the line-up of the band was quite traditional. As well as Chris Barber on trombone, the band included long serving members Pat Halcox on trumpet, Dick Smith on bass, and Graham Burbidge on drums. I was initially disappointed when Monty Sunshine and Lonnie Donegan left the earlier band, but replacements were inspirational. Ian Wheeler plays alto-sax as well as a clear and compelling clarinet, and Eddie Smith's rythmic banjo patterns provide superb suuport to the whole band.

Vintage Crane River Jazz Band 1950-1952

CD-Charts > Music > Traditional Jazz
by: Crane River Jazz Band

Release Date July 21, 2003
This is proper jazz, played by enthusiasts for the love of the music. The Crane River Jazzband wished to recreate the feel and some of the sound of New Orleans jazz before it became a vehicle for impressive solos, and even so early in their development they had found the keys to true collective playing.
The sound is variable, being from a variety of sources and never spoiled by excessive attention to hi-fi standards, but the balance is fine and the spirit of the performances comes across well. None of the musicians was technically advanced enough to be tedious, but they all play well here; every tune is a team effort.
Fans of the genre will enjoy this a lot; other folks don't know what they're missing. The Crane River Jazzband was one ... Read More:
