“Europe's finest traditional jazz & blues band!”

The Chris Barber Big Band

Monday 15 February 2016

Chris formed his first Band in 1949 at the age of nineteen and has since gone on to become Europe’s most successful and influential bandleader and a bona fide jazz legend.

With his 10-piece band, Chris plays 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!
