[78-L] Jean Robert - The European Hawkins2

Sat Sep 26 08:06:16 PDT 2009

Dear Hans,

Did you know that Jean Robert met Adrian Rollini, while playing at the 
Elizalde orchestra in Oostende, at the Belgian coast?   Beste Hans, wist je 
dat Jean Robert nog bassax-intructie heeft gehad van
This event is mentioned in an old Doctor Jazz magazine, written by Tom 
Faber. I'll never forget that Tom Faber told me, that, ehen
he interviewed Jean robert his tape recorded didn't work. He had planned to 
organize a new
interview with Jean Robert in Hilversum. At that time I met Klaas van Beeck, 
who told me that his friend Jean Robert, with whom he played billards, had 
passed away.
So I told Tom Faber, to write down everything he remembered from the 
interview he had had with Jean Robert and so he did.

I rembert the tune Desperado Shuffle. It was one of my first records I had 
when I started to collecvt 78rpm, but i didn't like the trumpet playing
arouswapped it for an Armstrong 78rpm; one I found a hundred times during 
the years to follow; I've never seen a copy of this Desperado Shuffle 
again - and now I really like it.
My first copy is now in the collection of a friend-collector, so I know it 
is in good hands. Great stuff.

Sorry, 78-L members, once again I didn't notice that it was not a member who
sent me a message, but it came via the List. So you all got a copy of my
reaction in Dutch. Fortunately Hans will use it on his blog and you can all
see it in English by then.......

Beste Hans, wist je dat Jean Robert nog bassax-intructie heeft gehad van
Rollini? Dat gebeurde toen Adrian met de band van Elizalde in Ostende
speelde. Het verhaal staat in een oud nummer van Doctor Jazz en is
opgetekend door Tom Faber. Ik zal nooit vergeten dat Tom me vertelde dat hij
JB had geïnterviewd maar dat zijn cassettespeler niet had gewerkt. Hij wilde
dus binnenkort weer naar Hilversum trekken om het opnieuw op te nemen. Maar
ik was net op bezoek geweest bij Klaas van Beeck, die me had verteld dat
zijn biljart-maatje Jean Robert net was overleden! Ik zei dus tegen Tom:
"Dan moet je nu aan je computer gaan zitten en opschrijven wat je je nog
herinnert, want een tweede kans krijg je niet!" Dat heeft hij dus toen maar
gedaan. gelukkig!
Ook Desperado Shuffle bracht een herinnering. Ik heb die plaat ooit gehad,
helemaal in het begin van mijn verzamelaarsjaren en ik vond het niet zo
geweldig. Helemaal Red Nichols en zover was ik nog niet...... Ik heb hem
toen geruild tegen een Armstrong. Dom. Die Armstrong ben ik nog honderd keer
tegengekomen, die Red Robins nooit..... Maar hij zit bij een bevriende
verzamelaar, dus op een goede plek. Ik vind het inmiddels prachtige muziek!
Groeten
Ate
