Huub Janssen – I’ve found a new baby. 1976 Huub Janssen drums with the Dutch Swing College Band. Leader Peter Schilperoort soprano sax, Bert de Kort cornet, Bob Kaper alto sax, Dick Kaart trombone, Jaap van Kempen guitar, Henk Bosch van Drakensteyn bass. Together with Italian drummer Charly Antolini, British drummer Peter York, Huub Janssen belongs to the top European drummers. Particularily special is his perception and approach. This with en inborn sense of humor together with his visual effects makes him even more outstanding and puts him in a class apart with drummer Jo Jones. Huub is a totally fascinating performer and from the drummers I have seen and heard I personally rank him among the world’s very best. A jazz musician for 50 years, Huub Janssen (16 January 1937) earned his reputation in the Dutch Swing College Band with whom he played for 25 years. He travelled all over the world with them and took part in many TV shows, radio programmes and albums. His drum solos are famous everywhere and he has become a popular studio musician. Apart from the Dutch Swing College Bandconcerts, for years he has also played regularly with the Flashback Quartet and especially with his own Amazing Jazz Band, an occasional formation of first-class Dutch Dixieland musicians.

Dippermouth Blues — South Frisco Jazz Band This was recorded at the one of the concerts for members of the Toronto Classic Jazz Society on December 3 1995. As vice- president of this society I had suggested to engage this wonderful band for one of our concerts. I had known the musicians for many years especially when meeting at the different jazz festivals throughout the USA. The band follows a strict style of early jazz. They have followed Clarence Williams, Oliver, Armstrong and Morton’s recordings from the twenties and early thirties and they are the prime American band to continue in the footsteps of revivalists Lu Watters and Turk Murphy in the forties and fifties. South Frisco had its beginnings in 1956 and has become one of the oldest bands in the USA still playing here in the late nineties. This band uses the original recordings as a sample but keep their own fire and ideas as a result of their talent fully alive. Here they play King Oliver’s Dippermouth Blues.
