Said Bill Wyman (and he should know), 'Without Chris Barber, The Stones and The Beatles would not be where they are now'. Many others expressed similar sentiments when the great trombonist and bandleader passed away in March this year at the age of 90. He'd officially retired only in 2019, after an unparalleled career spanning no fewer than seven decades.You can find recordings from all those decades in the recently-launched limited-edition 4CD set, Chris Barber: A Trailblazer's Legacy [The Last Music Co LMCD227], starting with the first issued studio recordings of Chris Barber's New Orleans Jazz Band from 1951 and ending with a number from his last recorded session in December 2018.
