Bob Erwig's jazz in 1965
- 17 years ago
Love is just around the corner Dixieland Seven 1965
The Dixieland Seven from the Netherlands 1965!
Bob Erwig trumpet, Joop Postma clarinet, Jan Meeuwisse trombone, Dick Posthuma piano, Ad Funcke guitar, Willem Van Den Bos bass, Ted de Jong drums.
In 1965 I was member of a very talented local band while still living in the Netherlands. I played trumpet in The Dixieland Seven of Naarden-Bussum, a suburb town of Amsterdam.
We had a swinging rhythm section and played very much in the Eddy Condon idiom.
Our band was the winner at the AVRO radio competition that year and the price was to play a concert in the concerthall of the Kurhaus Hotel in Scheveningen with New Orleans clarinettist Albert Nicholas.
Unfortunately that concert was probably never recorded but that same year we ended up in a Hilversum recording studio to play some tunes.
I' am quite proud of these recordings and like to post one for you on dailymotion.
When we were visiting Holland a few years later I had my old 8mm movie camera and while standing in my brother's car I filmed the streets and avenues of Naarden-Bussum, the town we grew up in.
In combining these movie clips with the music You'll get an idea of where this all happened.
