MUSIC L_IST
CHRIS BARBER
Chris Barber’s distinctive sound is produced essentially by the back line of electric bass and guitars and sometimes banjo or acoustic guitar. This gives the band the most bluesy sound in British traditional jazz.
or course they are very successful in Europe and abroad where they operate
' as a concert band with an easy gloss, butthe music continues to be an invigorating mix at rags and blues,
: basic New Orleans and Showmanship.
; The Barbourtrombone and the trumpet of Pat Nalcox will be leading the boys in Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on 27th June.
