B… Read Full Bio ↴Chris Barber (born 17th April 1930) is an English jazz trombonist.
Barber was born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, England, and educated at St Paul’s School in London. He is best known as a trombonist playing in the trad style with his Dixieland jazz band.
In 1953-1954 he was in a band called Ken Colyer’s Jazzmen with Ken Colyer, Lonnie Donegan, , Jim Bray, Ron Bowden and Monty Sunshine. It was during this period that the band used to play Skiffle during their breaks and Lonnie Donegan sang the “Midnight Special” and “In the evening, when de sun go down” which turned out to be big sellers at the time.
At the end of a year there was a bustup and Ken Colyer stormed out to start up his own band and Chris Barber took over the band and renamed it. From an earlier conversation I had with Lonnie Donegan, I was led to believe the bust up concerned Ken Colyer and him.

Ice Cream
Chris Barber's Jazz Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
[Instrumental]
As the lyrics to this song are instrumental, there are no actual words to interpret. However, one can still infer that the upbeat tempo and lively melody convey a sense of joy and excitement, similar to the feeling of indulging in a delicious treat like ice cream. The playful use of various instruments, including trumpet and clarinet, create a sense of whimsy and fun, while the steady rhythm of the drums keeps the piece moving forward with a sense of youthful energy. Overall, the song seems to encourage the listener to let loose, have some fun, and enjoy the simple pleasures in life, much like a refreshing scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day.

I’ve seen him and the band when I was in my twenties. The average old was 70plus but these guys were the jazz-Pavarotti’s!

When Chris Barber was in our country (NL) I attended his concerts. They were highlights of my life. I will never forget them. Rest in peace Chris.

Anyone who doesn't have a smile on their face listening to this is devoid of humanity.
