“When you can release an album that has artists such as Morrison,
Waters, Clapton and Knopfler on it then you know you are held in high
esteem in the music world. Of course, tying everything together
is Barber's own exemplary contributions on trombone”

Celebrating an incredible 70-years as band-leader, Chris takes to the road with alongside the Big Chris Barber Band - a band that he rates as the best of his career- for a Europe-wide concert tour.
Inspired by the 'King Oliver Creole Jazz Band', Chris formed his first Band in 1949 at the age of nineteen and has since gone on to become not only Europe's most successful and influential bandleaders, but a bona fide jazz legend
With his 10-piece band, featuring a 7-strong front line, Chris plays a selection of his favourite music: from his roots in New Orleans style in ‘Bourbon Street Parade’ to the early music of Duke Ellington and Sidney Bechet ... before going back to ‘When the Saints’!
The Big Chris Barber Band combine all these ingredients into an exciting, and often moving, evening of world-class jazz.
