playing his van Laar signature model flugelhorn with Paul Kuhn And 'The Best' & Babelsberger Filmorchester - 80th Birhday Tour Wackerhalle, 39th Internationale Jazzwoche Burghausen/Germany, 9th March 2008
I had the pleasure of touring with Ack back in 1978 in Peter Herbolzheimer's band in Germany. The trumpet section was myself, Ack, Kenny Wheeler and Alan Botschinsky. What a joy that tour was!!!!
Ack Van Rooyen, one of the great lyrical jazz players.... beautiful singing sound, long flowing lines. A true musician. I remember as a child hearing him on a Bert Kaempfert recording....... amazing playing.......
Fantastic BB Sound, and Ack van Rooyen gorgeous on his solos. For me, one of the best Thelonius Monk & Cootie Williams interpretations of 'Round Midnight' ever! Can't get enough listening to that tune.
Wat een kanjer ! Niet nu ineens, na zijn dood, maar gelukkig hem heeeeel erg veel live gehoord. Een van de meesters he ? op die toptoeter ! Wat een kanjer, wat een sound.
I had already play this song.. and I can't explain the feeling I felt when i hear this player... ohhhhhhh mister, your really my idol : ) I miss my trumpet and my flugelhorn...
For some years now I'm carrying this with me wherever I go, first on my iPod, now on my iPad. What a musician(s). Ack van Rooyen, still going strong and even getting better. And Paul Kuhn. A breed of musicians that's seems to be slowly dissapearing.
Absolute artistry. Every note elaborated on the meaning of the composition. I'm a professional trumpet player and I can only strive to ever reach this level of improvisation. Thank you Ack! Wish I knew you.
@HCL991 This is Ack van Rooyen, a Dutch Flugelhorn and Trumpet Player. He Played with the great Bert Kaempferth Orchestra in the Sixties, With Peter Herbolzheimer's Rhythm Combination and Brass, with the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble and many more. He used to teach Jazz Trumpet Playing in Hilversum.
La strumento. Le sigo. mejor interpretación de este tema que he escuchado en mi vida. Sobervio el maestro Van Rooyen, un placer conocerlo a partir de esta esquisita grabación. Me ha convertido en su ferviente admirador, es usted un verdadero artista y maestro del innstrumento en cuestión -en mi país -Fliscorno-.
It is great playing flugelhorn. Player articulation (matches to my guidelines. Pseudonym Alien 78 producer Takagi S · critic Takagi S) It is a great mixing camera cut percentage of the sound. It is a sweet and gentle tone. Video of the title is an automatic translation of the Van Rooyen "Round Midnight" English Ack to the Japanese. フリューゲルホルンの素晴らしい演奏ですね。奏者アーティキュレーション(私のガイドラインに一致します。ペンネームはエーリアン78・プロデューサー高木S・評論家高木S)音のミキシング・カメラカット割が素晴らしいですね。甘く優しい音色ですね。動画の題名は、Ackをファン・ロイヤン「ラウンド・ミッドナイト」英語を日本語に自動翻訳です。

What a topshift you did met Herbolzheimer.
He was 78 years old here, playing like he's smack in the middle of his prime! Amazing!
M R I met him last week, he is 90 now and still sounds the same, it’s unbelievable!
Really motivates me to keep practicing. No matter how little i practice if i do it for over 60 years i have to get good at it :D
At 78, smack in the middle of his prime...encouraging words to me at 70.
Was fot Ack exactly no problem ,he was fortunate. You hear his phrasing with his horn ? Djeezus wat a topper !
Ack is my ideal of playing fluegelhorn and sound! I miss him!
Ack is absolutely one of the finest jazz musicians of our time! The flugelhorn is magical in his hands! Love that sound!
Goodbye legend. We will miss you.
Wonderful....thank you. May you Rest In Peace.
R.I.P. Ack van Rooyen - du jazzt jetzt im Himmel...welch ein Sound für die Engel...
one of the best versions I've heard!
This guy is the tops I might have to melt my flugelhorn it will never be the same....
Ack Van Rooyen, one of the great lyrical jazz players.... beautiful singing sound, long flowing lines. A true musician. I remember as a child hearing him on a Bert Kaempfert recording....... amazing playing.......

Excellent flugel sound & interpretation.......
Been a long time since I played a flugel, but that is just about the perfect sound. Bravo, Ack!!
I agree - a very juicy and round sound full of color and depth.
Such fluency,such lyricism,such musicianship.
La migliore interpretazione in assoluto di questo brano. Qui siamo all'università della musica.
Wonderful music Ack, you're the best!

フリューゲルホルンの素晴らしい演奏ですね。奏者アーティキュレーション(私のガイドラインに一致します。ペンネームはエーリアン78・プロデューサー高木S・評論家高木S)音のミキシング・カメラカット割が素晴らしいですね。甘く優しい音色ですね。動画の題名は、Ackをファン・ロイヤン「ラウンド・ミッドナイト」英語を日本語に自動翻訳です。
pure magic
