  • 17.4.1930 – 2.3.2021
    CHRIS BARBER - 17.4.1930 – 2.3.2021 A very sad message has reached us! On March 2nd, 2021 Chris Barber died at the age of 90years. Thus, one of the best known, most interesting and versatile jazz musicians in Europe, has left the world’s musical stage. Having been born into a middle-class family in Welwyn Garden City on 17th April 1930, Chris showed a special aptitude for numbers and calculation and began studies in mathematics and statistics, however, as jazz records began to filter into post-war Britain, he changed direction and entered the Guildhall School Of Music in London to study trombone and double bass. He formed his first band in 1949 and the following year changed to a 2-cornet frontline based on the classic King Oliver Creole Jazz Band of 1923. It was on 31st May 1954 when Chris Barber took over leadership of the Ken Colyer Jazz Band due to Ken being dismissed because of “artistic differences” , that the CB success story really began. Ken was replaced by Pat Halcox from the Albemarle Jazz Band and he stayed with Chris Barber for over 54 years, making it the longest partnership in jazz history!! Chris was not only a pioneer of European traditional jazz from 1950 till 2019 but also a significant promoter and developer of the European jazz, blues and R&B scene. Although his music was based on traditional jazz, he experimented with new styles and different musicians from all over the world and incorporated them into his repertoire at an early stage.

  • Trad Jazz in 1950S Britain—Protest, Pleasure, Politics— Interviews with Some of Those Involved
    Trad jazz in 1950s Britain—protest, pleasure, politics— interviews with some of those involved George McKay These are transcriptions of interviews and correspondence undertaken as part of an Arts and Humanities Research Board (now Council)-funded project exploring the cultures and politics of traditional jazz in Britain in the 1950s. The project ran through 2001-2002 and was entitled American Pleasures, Anti- American Protest: 1950s Traditional Jazz in Britain. I edited responses, and structured them here according to the main issues I asked about and to key points that seemed to recur from different interviewees. There is a short-ish introduction to give a sense of context to readers unfamiliar with that period of Britain’s cultural history. I hugely enjoyed meeting and talking with these people, whose cultural and political autobiographies were full of energy, rebellion, fun, with music at the heart. Thank you. Some—Jeff Nuttall, George Melly—are, sadly, now dead. Material from these interviews, and a second set I undertook with modern jazzers and enthusiasts (I acknowledge that the distinction between trad and modern doesn’t always bear scrutiny) was included in my book Circular Breathing: The Cultural Politics of Jazz in Britain (Duke University Press, 2005). Do contact me if you have any queries. George McKay University of Salford, UK [email protected] April 2002; revised (with extra images) September 2002; revised introduction January 2010 (little has change except the point that I now know that the David Boulton jazz historian and the David Boulton of CND were one and the same person) Most of the archive photographs here are either from Jeff Nuttall’s photo album, which he gave me at the end of our interview in Abergavenny—I’d like to pass it on to a family member, please—or © and courtesy of the Ken Colyer Trust: www.kencolyertrust.org 1 Introduction British jazz has arrived, in Britain at any rate.

  • The Pirates and Pop Music Radio
    SELLING THE SIXTIES Was pirate radio in the sixties a non-stop psychedelic party – an offshore discothèque that never closed? Or was there more to it than hip radicalism and floating jukeboxes? From the mavericks in the Kings Road and the clubs ofSohotothemultinationaladvertisers andbigbusiness boardrooms Selling the Sixties examines the boom of pirate broadcasting in Britain. Using two contrasting models of unauthorized broadcasting, Radios Caroline and London, Robert Chapman situates offshore radio in its social and political context. In doing so, he challenges many of the myths which have grown up around the phenomenon. The pirates’ own story is framed within an examination of commercial precedents in Europe and America, the BBC’s initial reluctance to embrace pop culture, and the Corporation’s eventual assimilation of pirate programming into its own pop service, Radio One. Selling the Sixties utilizes previously unseen evidence from the pirates’ own archives, revealing interviews with those directly involved, and rare audio material from the period. This fascinating look at the relationship between unauthorized broadcasting and the growth of pop culture will appeal not only to students of communications, mass media, and cultural studies but to all those with an enthusiasm for radio history, pop, and the sixties. Robert Chapman’s broadcasting experience includes BBC local radio in Bristol and Northampton. He has also contributed archive material to Radios One and Four. He is currently Lecturer and Researcher in the Department of Performing Arts and Media Studies at Salford College of Technology.

  • Dave Keir – Jazz Multi-Instrumentalist – an Appreciation
    Dave Keir – jazz multi-instrumentalist – an appreciation Born 9th April 1928 in Townhill, near Dunfermline, Died 31st May 2019 in Wareham, Dorset Dave Keir, who has died at the age of 91 in south west England, was the last of the pioneering jazz generation that established the Edinburgh area as an important and vibrant centre for traditional jazz in the 1940s. His father worked in the dock yard at Rosyth and his mother, who was self taught, introduced the young Dave to music at home by playing hymns and light classics on an old harmonium. When he was about 10 years old, Dave started to play cornet, receiving free tuition from a miner who played with the local miner’s brass band and it was not long before he was improvising to his mother’s playing. Dave considered this good training for his later move into playing jazz. Later, at secondary school in Dunfermline, he was provided by the music teacher with a bass trombone and a ‘teach yourself’ manual. Dave taught himself to play this new instrument in 6 weeks and was able to take his place in the school orchestra. Although he was never to find the time to become a good reader of music, Dave was on record as saying that, right from the start, he found improvising, what jazz musicians call ‘busking’, easy. In the 1940s, inspired by watching the Bing Crosby film ‘The Birth of the Blues’, he developed a fancy for playing in a jazz band on clarinet then, during National Service in the RAF, Dave played clarinet and alto saxophone in dance band.

  • The Australian Jazz
    AUSTRALIAN JAZZ CONVENTIONS 1946-1976 by Dick Hughes* _____________________________________________________ The Australian Jazz Convention is unique for several reasons: The musicians have to pay to play; it moves venue each year; and, most remarkable of all, it was the first national jazz festival or convention in the world. DICK HUGHES looks back on the conventions since 1946 and previews Brisbane, 1976-77. This article appeared in a one-off undated magazine entitled “Jazz Australia” published probably in 1976, as it was an Australian Jazz Convention “special”, and the Convention was held in Balmain, Sydney at the end of 1975. Dick Hughes on piano, performing at the 1958 Convention at the Railway Institute, Sydney… PHOTO COURTESY DADDY’S PRACTISING AGAIN The first year of America's Newport Jazz Festival (1954) was also the year in which the ninth Australian Jazz Convention was held. Write to the Guinness Book of Records now and tell them that Australia was the first country in the world to have an annual jazz festival . or convention. "Little people though we are, etc..." 30 years ago in Melbourne they were in the final stages preparing for the first convention. Today, in Brisbane they're tying up the odds and ends for the 31st the first, incidentally, to be held in Brisbane. The Australian Jazz Convention is unique, unprecedented and unparalleled. Certainly I know of no other jazz festival in which the musicians not only are not paid, but in which they have to pay to play. All musicians playing at Australian jazz conventions have to pay a delegate fee.
