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.......
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.
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.
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.
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...
@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.
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.
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。
Ack is my ideal of playing fluegelhorn and sound! I miss him!

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 !
Goodbye legend. We will miss you.
Ack is absolutely one of the finest jazz musicians of our time! The flugelhorn is magical in his hands! Love that sound!

Could not agree more, Mike, well said.
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...

Love these guys. Paul Kuhn was an incredible talent. Just am in awe of all these guys did.
