The Big Chris Barber Band
The Anvil
Sun 23 November 2008, 7.30pm
Chris Barber leads his eleven-piece band, playing a wide selection of his favourite music, from his new Orleans-style roots in Bourbon Street Parade to the early music of Duke Ellington and Sidney Bechet; Bob Crosby, and the blues of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee; through to soul in the shape of Joe Zawinul’s Mercy Mercy Mercy.
The band combines all these ingredients into an evening of jazz and blues that is great entertainment.
