Programme from a tour of Switzerland, 1966.
This is a particularly interesting -- albeit short -- 1966 tour programme, because the text, written by Chris Barber, is all about New Orleans brass bands and the Eagle Brass Band featured on the tour. The photographs on pages 2 and 3 were taken a few years earlier, and were part of a set, twenty-four of which are reproduced elsewhere in this website: go to Photographs page 5 and scroll down to

Chris Barber in East Germany - Berlin 1968:
These Chris Barber Concerts in East Berlin on
November 25-27, 1968 at the Friedrichstadt-Palast were recorded by
the East German audio company AMIGA. Later on, the West German Polydor
Group under its label Intercord released a double album of this
concert. But the AMIGA 2 LP set and the INTERCORD double LP are not
identical. Read more about these recordings and the great evenings in
Berlin here. |
