Used to see your Mum and Dad In Kendal, yearly Must be six times or so always brought great talent with them, you always got a mention by your mum, lovely times 🙂

[@andykelly4056]

I’m here after seeing you on 24 hours in A&E I have an absolute love for the Dave Matthews’s band who have a real modern jazz influence in there style of music. And there old saxophone player LeRoi Moore was an absolute talent. Your mum was a fantastic player. I would love to meet her and chat to her about the music. 👌🏻 I hope she’s doing well. If you could please show her some live music of the Dave Mathews band your mum would appreciate

[@richardsutton01]

I didn't realise that Barbara had left us. I saw Jon with Coliseum in 1971 and Barbara and Jon in a jazz club in the early 90's. Great evenings that I will always remember. RIP Jon and Barbara.

[@wendygerrits4109]

I just saw your mum on 24 in the ER here in Holland and my dad played saxophone either therefor I thought I look at KZbin and I found her.... What a sound... And what a pitty to read that she has past away..... But the show must go on as you said and there is still the music... Take care...

[@owenmerkel7836]

I've just tuned in for the same reason. Truly an honour to hear part of her story from the show, and to watch her perform live.

[@fredwilliams9217]

Barbara and Jon were two of ny alĺ time favourite musiciansand I was lucky to them live in many of their varied bands including in the orchestra for the first week of Cats the mysical. I have both biographies which are well worth reading RIP both and your legacy lives on.

[@carlosfarias9749]

[@ebaylistentomusic]

[@glavius67]

R.I.P. Barbara 😔

[@hilldp9kz]

Came here via The Times Obituaries column, boy did I miss out . Brilliant RIP

[@mikemollenhoff7890]

Vielen Dank Barbara, für deine Musik und wie du es jungen Menschen nahegebracht hast. Mir tut deine Erkrankung so Leid. Du wirst fehlen. Du bist einfach die Größte!!!

[@eberhardbastigkeit6302]

Die Frau is Klasse. ❤❤❤

[@stephensmith799]

Barbara Thompson is Number One for sax. Her tone is extraordinary. I’m blessed to have heard her live.

[@talltree4252]

Just saw her on 24 emergency she did extraordinary achievements in her life.

[@lesliegprice6652]

Absolutely amazing, always loved Jon and Barbara's music, the violin playing is stunning, gutted to know that Jon Hiseman passed away, a giant of the Jazz scene indeed....one of the great drummers....RIP

[@wiejetze8397]

I'm a little older boy of sixty-two (in a few days) from Berlin and I'm a music listener since my childhood days and over the years you can believe me it was a bunch of music but to my shame I have to admit that I never heard of Barbara Thompson. These days I remembered Manfred Mann's Earth Band after a longer time and had a listen to them here at YT. On their album "The Roaring Silence" I was suddenly very surprised about a sax solo at the end of the title "Singing The Dolphin Through". Instantly I searched who was playing this and so I landed here. What an impressive woman and saxophon player! For me particular interesting and very inspiring because I learn to play sax (a + s) myself these days. Great music at all! Fits perfect in the spectrum of my musical liking. The last bars I like most. You've got a new fan. In those moments I always think about all the wonderful music around the world I will never hear because, well, you can't listen to all. But I'm always happy to discover new (at least for me) music just like yours.

Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia is PHENOMENALIA.....

[@JohnnyBull]

Takes me back to The Bull's Head in Barnes. Beautiful. What a way to spend an evening in '79 - that bar with the best music and the best barman in the world. And the best art-deco carpet to boot. Anyone remember? Ahh...

[@ChrisParva]

Great song!

[@cojon5055]

allways in my heart ❤️

[@GalaxyRover1020]

Jon Hiseman has always been one of my all time drum heroes. Amazing, classy, effortless ( so he makes it seem) playing in every thing he does.

[@12presspart]

billy thompson on violin was awesome what a player

[@stevemorley7657]

The DVD that this comes from is one of the best live performances I have ever seen, or heard. A must for all lovers of Barbara and jazz (or just music).

[@cymrogygo1759]

RIP Barbara!!!

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love your work!!

[@theprojektcouk]

So nice to see the man who inspired me so much as a teenager - your playing still inspires me today, Jon. Real nice band.

[@greeniemeenie1]

Wow what talent xx

[@wjb270]

The best violin solo played by anyone since the dawn of time! :)

[@MrLinki1212]

That is not true. You should listen to : Grobschnitt -Night train"

[@MrLinki1212]

I'm sorry. I ment Magic train.

[@Mark-cv9cd]

Nice! Never heard of Barbara Thompson before. I like the composition. And use of violin... the sound is so close to the sax.

[@TheJaggat]

John Hiseman ,the bet drummer ever. /Freddie the Swede.

[@dharmahyperbass9170]

Tengo el orgullo d tener en LP un doble en vivo d la maestra bárbara thompson

[@marcbrmb]

Simply fantastic!

[@JazzmanBerlin]

Close to the Edge, one of my favorites of Paraphernalia, presented here in a new fantastic version. Thanks for posting it here, actually again with violin, great! We spoke about 15 years ago on Potsdamer Straße in Berlin in front of Quartier Latin after your concert. Hi Jon, best wishes from Berlin, this is Lutz.

[@hans-jorgkissling5380]

I was in this concert at the theaterhouse in stuttgart,, with my wife, my wife is inside the cover of the live parapernalia double album together with her girl friend 1980..

[@bilothy]

All good. See you guys soon !

[@josetecastro1375]

Tremenda, tremendos! Fabuloso concepto del ritmo y la emoción. 🎉🌈❤️😍

[@VanFlex]

Hi Barbara, hi Jon, nice to see you in the web. Great Paraphernalia-videos! 2005 in austria i had a great time with you and Colosseum! The talk with Jon in the hotel lobby in Stuttgart was nice and ich miss Mark's jokes and Clem's smile :) I hope I see you again! Many greetings from Kiel, Germany Markus (Bärbel's son)

[@chrisbiful]

Wowww was für arschgeile Solos!!!

[@JochenRindtFan]

Missis Thompson rest in peace - a good musician and I am not a very good specialist for that kind of music, more a Rolling Stones-Fan

[@12presspart]

doesnt matter it means you like good music i bet the members of the rolling stones would love this esp charlie rip

[@puntostilocoupe]

Great...

[@MrCherryJuice]

If the rest of the DVD is even close to this - which I'm sure it is - then it is something we should all purchase in order to support these great - and dedicated - players. I notice it's available via Jon's website. A search for Temple Music should get you there (this YT page will not accept website addresses). I see there is also a double cd. And Jon's bio, 'Playing the Band' (excellent reading), plus other things.

[@bazonics]

Great stuff!! Saw Paraphernalia at the half moon putney in the late 70's, amazin' night. Anyone know what happened to colin dudman (sp?) and Dill Katz, one of the best bass players the uk has produced IMHO.
