Ack van Rooyen - A Master’s Class at the Royal Conservatoire

Royal Conservatoire The Hague: Kees van Baarenzaal on March 31, 2021
Last March, jazz icon and BUMA Boy Edgar Prize winner Ack van Rooyen honoured us with his presence in a profoundly inspiring masterclass. In the presence of several generations of players he has influenced - current students as well as faculty members Rik Mol, Martijn de Laat and Jarmo Hoogendijk and regular musical partner Juraj Stanik - he shared his immense wisdom generously with us.
This short film by San Bhugaloo documents the beauty of his musical and personal contribution and lets us understand once more why he is one of the most admired jazz musicians at the Royal Conservatoire, in the Netherlands as well as internationally.
Thank you for everything, Ack!

Uniek dit, die legende, kortademig met dat mondkapje. Frail zoals de Britten dat noemen, behalve op het moment dat hij speelt. Dit zou op DVD moeten worden uitgebracht.

Mooi dat je het ziet. Precies wat ik wou vertellen met de opening.

[@ingridvossen470]

Mooi om te zien hoe hij zijn levenswijsheid via de muziek heeft doorgegeven. Hoewel je aan de afdruk van het mondstuk ziet hoe hard de trompet is, komt er zo'n zacht en liefdevol geluid uit. Thanks Ack🙏🕯️

Por desgracia, nos dejó en noviembre de 2021. Ack puede alegrarse de no tener que presenciar la próxima destrucción de Europa. Descansa en paz
