This review is from: Billie & De De Pierce and Paul Barbarin With Chris Barber's Jazz Band, 1960 (Audio CD)
Fantastic recording of British players with a few New Orleans icons. The Brits have mastered the idiom and the music flows with grace, ease, and an unhurried swing that makes it immediately accessible and ingratiating. De De Pierce plays a masterful lead trumpet and Billie sounds earthy and fine on piano and vocals. Paul Barbarin drives the music along with his unique old time drumming. It's taken from an outdoor patio performance in the French quarter and the sound is good. With stellar contributions from many of the Brits, names you may be familiar with, this is one to savour.
