The Big Chris Barber Band
This band played a superb blend of classic Ellington tunes like Rockin’ In Rhythm, East St.Louis Toodle Oo and C Jam Blues on their recent U.K tour and included a fine rendition of Miles Davis’ All Blues. Biggest surprise came when they dropped the banjo, switched to electric guitar and rocked out on Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee’s Corn Bread and Black Molasses. Great drumming
