A tribute to Clark Terry, ft. Ack v Rooijen: 'Song for lost Friends', www.roadmaptofreedom.nl

Ack van Rooijen (Bird Award Winner 2020) salutes Clark Terry

Ack van Rooijen brought a moving tribute to one of his heroes, Clark Terry, with whom he was touring and playing during the 70's. Ack recently received the Boy Edgar Award out of the hands of Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte, to honour him with his musical achievements during his impressive career.

This show was part of the concertseries ‘You’re in the Army Now’, that shines the limelight on legendary jazz musicians that served in the US Army during WWI. An underrated connection, because many jazz musicians weren't only schooled in the Army Bands, but they also served as a stepping stone in their careers.

we hope you enjoy this version of Ack's 'Song for Lost Friends'.

Ack van Rooijen (flueghelhorn), Erik Robaard (bas), Wim Kegel (drums), Edgar van Asselt (piano)

De concertserie ‘You’re in the Army Now’ zet legendarische jazzmuzikanten die in het Amerikaanse leger dienden, tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, in de spotlights. Een onderbelichte connectie, want voor veel jazzmusici waren de ‘army bands’ niet alleen een leerschool, maar ook een uitvalsbasis voor hun latere jazz carrière.
