| Chris Barber formed his first band in 1953 which included the likes of Lonnie Donegan and Monty Sunshine. The band was then joined by trumpeter Ken Collier. Because Collier had joined the Merchant Navy simply on order to visit New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz and was subsequently deported, the band was re-named in his honour. In the late 50's and early 60's Barber teamed up with the blues musician Alexis Korner and arranged for visits to the UK by legendary US Blues artists, at a time when blues was unknown both the UK. and to white audiences in the US. This then led to the birth of homegrown UK blues groups, who encouraged by Chris Barber originally simply played filler spots in the programmes of traditional jazz bands playing the clubs - the Ealing Club being one such. Later on UK blues groups separated entirely from their trad jazz associations. It was at this point around 1963 that John Mayall formed the Bluesbreakers most notable as being a stepping stone for guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor. michael adams |
