In 1994 and 1995 the Chris Barber Jazz and Blues Band embarked on an extensive 40th-anniversary jubilee tour of Britain and the continent, accompanied by the members of the Original 1954 Chris Barber's Jazz Band. Along with Chris and Pat, there were Monty Sunshine on clarinet, Lonnie Donegan on banjo, guitar and vocals, Jim Bray on bass and tuba, and Ron Bowden on drums. Several recordings were made, and later released on CDs, including Live At Sagewerk, Live At Nürnberg, and Live At the BP Studienhaus (all available on Timeless Records). Also released in 2003 was a 40 Years Jubilee Concert DVD, featuring both bands.
