Bob Ironside Hunt announced today: “My old boss Chris Barber turns 90 today!
All the best mate, and thanks for all the good times!“
Thanks Bob for announcing this and especially thank you, Chris, for your
massive contribution to Jazz. I managed to capture the YouTube above from
way back in The Gods in Wyllyotts Theatre, Potters Bar.
Afterwards I was privileged to steel a lengthy conversation with Chris.

Over the years I have filmed more than 400 YouTubes featuring live jazz at a variety of events, with 880,700 plus views to date.
Now, to help compensate for the absence of live jazz, I’m
re-featuring selections of my Jazz&Jazz YouTubes.
Today’s choice, dating back to November, 2013:
The Golden Eagle Jazz Band
performing King Oliver’s “Canal Street Blues”
at Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Jazz Club.
Kevin Scott (Leader/Banjo); Roy Stokes (Trombone);
Mick Scroxton (Trumpet); Alan Cresswell (Clarinet); Pete Jackman (Drums); Mike Broad (Bass).

Rooted in New Orleans Jazz and inspired by 40s, 50s and 60s bands, the Good Time Jazz Gang’s repertoire includes well known jazz standards, blues and spirituals.
Several numbers at their October 20th Walnut Tree Jazz Club Session were filmed for Jazz&Jazz YouTubes.
Hosted by The Redbourn Jazz Club
Full of fun and contagious presentation, Doolalley Tap’s foot stomping live shows take fans by storm. It was a delight to film them on “home turf” – at their spiritual home,
The Ivy House, SE London, Sunday, 15th September.
Granddaughter LeighAnna and her partner Olly joined Ginny and me.
They live close by and will be back!
Launched in Germany earlier this year, “The Jungle Jazz Band”,
a veritable newcomer on European jazz circuits,
is quickly making its mark.
“In the Jungle” are Laurent Humeau (Trumpet), Eldar Tsalikov (Reeds, Vocal), Carlos Santana (Trombone, Vocal), François Perdriau (Drums, Cymbals, Cow Bell, Wood Block),
Quentin Bardi (Banjo) and Jack Butler (Soussa).
Jack has played with Frog and Henry.

[Read more…]Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.
“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz
“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans
“Very pleased to be associated with Jazz & Jazz. It promises to be be an influential contribution not just to the UK but to any one anywhere capable of accessing it. My Old Green River Band is delighted to have the opportunity to register its gigs and geographical whereabouts and to see the results this must have for all those associated.”
Martin Bennett, The Old Green River Band
“Fantastic Peter, you've got a talent for capturing people! Perhaps I need to have a shave!!!
Emile Martyn, The Fallen Heroes.
