The Best Of Both Worlds

World record club release made in Croydon, Surrey long before Croydon was a London Borough . Fairfield hall has known to boast some Jazz giants such as Ornette Coleman , Chris Barber . Over 60 years ago Croydon had an abundance of record pressing plants and mastering studios there are also release from Richmond . This was a progressive album in the sense that Chris Barber created what may be known as an amalgamation of Black American Musicians and White English Musicians i am using what I believe to be derogatory terms merely to describe the context in which this album was recorded . This is an album that spans 1 to 2 years of the best works of Chris Barber who is renowned more for the solidity of his playing as opposed to the more virtuoso type playing of his contemporaries as well as his incorporation of what was at the time people who wouldn't integrate socially .
