Our Take

If you haven't heard of Chris Barber, then you clearly haven't been paying attention to the world of trad jazz. But fear not, because "The Absolutely Essential Collection" is here to school you on all things Barber. This three-disc set is like a crash course in the history of British jazz, with Barber at the helm. From the swinging rhythms of "Petit Fleur" to the toe-tapping fun of "Bourbon Street Parade," Barber's trombone skills are on full display throughout this compilation. His band, the Jazz Band, provides the perfect backdrop for Barber's smooth playing, creating a sound that is both timeless and infectious. But it's not all about the instrumentals here. Barber also shows off his vocal chops on tracks like "Ice Cream" and "When the Saints Go Marching In," proving that he's not just a one-trick pony. His voice may not be as smooth as his trombone, but it's got a charm all its own. Overall, "The Absolutely Essential Collection" is a must-have for any jazz fan looking to expand their horizons. So grab your beret, pour yourself a glass of something strong, and let Chris Barber take you on a musical journey through the swinging streets of 1960s London. You won't regret it.
