The much celebrated jazz trombonist Chris Barber and his 10-piece band come to Solihull to play a wide selection of his favourite music. From his roots in New Orleans style in “Bourbon Street Parade” and “Chimes Blues”, to the early music of Duke Ellington, and on to the blues by Sonny Terry & Brownie. Inspired by the King Oliver Creole Jazz Band, Chris formed his first Barber New Orleans Band in 1949 aged 19 and has been one of Europe’s most successful traditional jazz bands ever since.
