Over the years, Chris Barber's Jazz Band (formed in 1954) evolved into this band (The Chris Barber Jazz And Blues Band) an eight-piece group, mixing the styles of blues and jazz. The demarcation of this transition is March 1973.

At the end of 2001 Chris extended his band with three more musicians into The Big Chris Barber Band.

Note: Due to the complex nature of this bands history, please add all recordings prior to March 1973 to Chris Barber's Jazz Band. Only add variations of the band name that include the added 'Blues' title to this profile.
