Barbara Thompson MBE would have celebrated her 80th Birthday in July 2024. In response to fan requests, Repertoire Records has marked the occasion with the release of the classic Paraphernalia album Live In Concert as a deluxe package. Barbara Thompson, the virtuoso saxophonist, composer and bandleader, lost her battle with Parkinson’s in 2022, aged 77. “It was said that Live In Concert was our most inspired recorded performance to date, perhaps partly due to the fact that we had an extremely responsive audience and greater room for improvisation. The album featured what was probably Jon’s finest recorded drum solo to date.”
From Journey To A Destination Unknown, Barbara’s autobiography. Despite being a fan favourite and receiving many accolades, the album has never been released on CD or digital platforms…until now.
