Friedrichstadtpalast, East-Berlin 1965

Rare recording of a Chris Barber concert in East-Berlin, 1965. Personel: Chris Barber - trombone Pat Halcox - trumpet Ian Wheeler - clarinet, alto sax Stu Morrison - banjo John Slaughter - guitar Micky Ashman - upright bass, replacing Dick Smith. Lu de Lussanet - drums, replacing Graham Burbridge, due to illness at that time. Lu or Louis was a Dutch drummer who played with the Dutch Swing College Band in the sixties. The Barber band was one of the first jazzbands that was allowed to play in the former DDR. The quality of the tape is not that good, but is very unique.....
