lacrimajazz - V:A: chris barber memories of my trip - 2011

Inspirato dalla " king oliver creole band " C. Barber fu uno dei primi a portare il jazz di New Orleans in GB , il trombonista aveva 19 anni quando nel 1949 formo' la sua prima band .
Questo doppio cd e' una prospettiva di oltre 60 anni di carriera, il contributo e' veramente
eccezionale : Muddy Waters , Van Morrison , Eric Clapton , Mark Knopfler , Lonnie Donegan ,
Jeff Healey , Rory Gallagher , Ottilie Patterson , Keith Emerson , James Cotton , ho citato i piu' famosi ma la track list parla da sola . Difficile racchiudere 60 anni in 31 tracce ma nonostante
tutto la scelta e' molto efficace e non deludera' nessuno , si va dal jazz puro al dixieland , dal blues
al puro suono New Orleans , se vogliamo in questo lavoro c'e' la" crema " di Chris Barber con
le sue varie band e collaborazioni. Voglio segnalare quattro titoli che gia valgono il disco :
"can't be satisfied " con Rory Gallagher ( fantastica) ," i'll be rested " con Paul Jones,
"rose room " con Joe Darensbourg , " sunny side of the street " con Jools Holland .
Buon ascolto !!!
