This year he and his band, The Big Chris Barber Band, will celebrate 100 years of jazz.

In early 1917 the very first Jazz record was released by The Original Dixieland Jazz Band: Livery Stable Blues.

Now, in 2017 and a 
century later, it’s a moment to celebrate for Chris and for jazz in general.

The Big Chris Barber Band features everything from New Orleans to blues to late 20s Ellington.
