Thanks for posting this - Beautiful performance, Bobby Jaspar was one of my favourite European reedmen along with Tubby Hayes - Tragedy that they both died so young. What a team when he was married to Blossom Dearie for that short time in the 60's. RIP great talent - Got all of his recordings but never saw him live - Thankyou again
Bobby was great;a true jazz flutist was he. I have never heard his sax playing, but can imaging his magnificence. I guess Mann, although a great flute player who also played tenor sax, was fortunate. Thanks for posting.
Hey this jazz flute guy could give Will Ferrell the Anchor Man a run for his money !! - The guitarist looks like Rene Thomas. Thanks for the video. Thanks you to all in the band !
Could this be the J. J. Johnson Quintet? I used to own an LP titled "Dial JJ5" and Bobby Jaspar was a tenor/flute player in the J J Johnson Quintet. Bobby Jaspar was also featured in "It could happen to you" on that album, but I thought it was recorded in the studio. There is also a live recording in Amsterdam from the 1957 J J Johnson Quintet tour. Check these recordings out.
A few years ago I commended Chicago tenor man Greg Fishman on his great flute playing. , which I compared with James Moody's. But he cited Bobby Jaspar as a major influence.. Previously I'd never met anyone who seemed to know the name. A lot of great reed players would have answered Byrd's call for a frontline partner to accompany him for a 1958 sabbatical iin France with a "home base" at a jazz club on Paris' Left Bank. But when you can choose a player from Belgian without compromising musical quality in the least,, there couldn't have been a better choice than Jaspar. i didn't realize til lately that he married Blossom Dearier (couldn't have lasted long).
Probably "Jazz Pour Tous" (Belgium - 1962) with Bobby Jaspar (ts,fl), Amedeo Tommasi (p), Benoit Quersin (b), Daniel Humair (dr) and also René Thomas (g) on other parts.
+Pascal Savelon It's a recording for Belgian Television, january 13 1962, Brussels. On that occasion they also played Oleo, Ballata in forma di Blues and the René Thomas composition I remember Sonny.

Absolutely gorgeous! When he quotes Ravel in the beginning... gorgeous. I can't believe I'm just finding out about this guy.
TheRoscoeCollective yeah that’s was great!
I have to ask what was the original ravel piece?

+wyndhl eodumegwu Look for the tunes "They Lock Alike", "Minor Drop" and "Barry's Tune". He's on tenor on those.

Thanks, Fernando.
His tenor playing is good, but his flute playing is magnificent . A Fabius musician.
I know Fabius is good, but this guy is better. 😆
@@jerrylev59Fabius is only good to build his career. I didn't know that Bobby Jaspar plaid flute. Fabulous !
Beautiful.
A wonderful talent!
This is insane! ❤️

Great flutist!
Nice, Big flutist and tenorsax.
Good. Very good!
I meant to write "a fabulous musician." He is without a doubt the best jazz flutist I have ever heard.
Hear more.
Un autre grand du Jazz belge et du jazz mondial, né le 26 février 1926, décédé en le 4 mars 1963, un exemple pour Stan Getz dit-on.
