Royal Garden Blues Barber Chris 1990?
Chris Barber's Jazz Band. I have no info of when or where but it is a recording done in a small place. The members seem to enjoy that closer contact with their audience. Most films I've seen of the Barber band are much more formal in concert halls. There is special attraction for many musicians to play in smaller places where eye contact and audience warmth creates a different inspiration. Also as a band standing closer together, and not being distracted by sound engineers, who usually have a different opinion how the band should sound, brings surprising new ideas to the creative mind. There is a very nice clarinet solo by Ian Wheeler, one of my favourite clarinet players.
