| Jetzt ist sie also erschienen, die
neueste CD und erstmals mit der offiziellen Big Chris Barber Band! Interessant ist die Mischung der ausgewählten Stücke. Von alten Standards wie beispielsweise "Sweet Georgia Brown" oder "Petite Fleur" über "Alice Blue Gown" (schon 1920 von der Original Dixieland Jazz Band aufgenommen) zu Joe Zawinuls "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" sind alles neue Arrangements zu hören. Es ist tatsächlich etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, Chris in dieser Formation zu hören. Der Kick kommt aber sofort! Es ist herrlicher, purer Jazz, angereichert mit etwas Big Band Sound, vermischt mit Blues und gewürzt mit New Orleans Sound - eben doch und allen Puristen zu Trotz - unüberhörbar Chris Barber's Jazz & Blues & Big Band. 20.3.2002 - English version 5.8.2003 |
And
here is the brand new CD, for the first time with the "official"
Big Chris Barber Band. The mix of the selected tunes is very interesting. The CD contains old standards like "Sweet Georgia Brown", "Petite Fleur" or "Alice Blue Gown" (already recorded in 1920 by the legendary Original Dixieland Jazz Band) as well as Joe Zawinuls "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy". However, almost all these tunes had been adapted and arranged to the new 11 piece band. Indeed, we have to get used to the new sound of Chris Barber. But you will soon realise that this is fantastic and pure Jazz, enriched with Big Band Sound, mixed up with blues and finally spiced with New Orleans elements. To all purists I can say it is ll the true Chris Barber Sound, in my opinion the Chris Barber Jazz & Blues & Big Band. What else do you want more? |
