On this new page you will find links to everything you ever wanted to know about Chris Barber and the Chris Barber Band: the links go to several main sections of the website. These include some of the links that were formerly listed on the Home Page, such as "The Chris Barber Story", Chris Barber's Jazz Band / The Chris Barber Jazz & Blues Band / The Big Chris Barber Band, "The Barber-Purser Archives", "Tours, Concerts and Special Events", and several others. We hope this will make your navigation of the Chris Barber website easier and more enjoyable.

Ken Colyer's Jazzmen, 1953-1954: We don't have a specific page about Ken Colyer's Jazzmen, but the band is covered in many places on the website, including the Chris Barber/Ken Colyer 50th Anniversary page, Chris Barber's Recordings with Ken Colyer, the sleeve notes for the first issue of New Orleans To London (1953), and Ken Colyer Biography and Appreciation. You can also visit the Ken Colyer website. In addition, there is an extended account of Ken prior to his joining Ken Colyer's Jazzmen in 1953 and the year-plus of their existence in Pete Frame's excellent book, The Restless Generation (2007). |
