Alyn Shipton plays music from every decade in the long career of trombonist Chris Barber, who died last month. We'll hear numbers with blues singer Ottilie Patterson, gospel from Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Professor Alex Bradford, and a range of jazz from Barber’s early washboard quintet, through to the big band he led in the 21st century, plus what was his very last recording.
