[78-L] Jean Robert - The European Hawkins2

[Hans en Corrie]

One of the most important saxophone players of Belgium must have been Jean 
Robert. Although he played in numerous bands and recording sessions and with 
a more then 40 years career in music, he seems now complete forgotten by the 
younger generation. What a shame!  Coleman Hawkins labelled him in the 1930s 
as the best tenor saxophone players of Europe.
Thanks to his grandchildren I can share with you some photos from Jean 
Robert's own personal archive. Some people on the photo's were easily to 
identify; others not - that's why we ask for your help identifying the 
musicians on the pictures: http://keepswinging.blogspot.com
