Bobby Jaspar - It could happen to you

[@thomas1140]

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

Lucky you have all his recordings....very rare to find

[@symphony18]

Absolutely gorgeous! When he quotes Ravel in the beginning... gorgeous. I can't believe I'm just finding out about this guy.

[@ritafab]

TheRoscoeCollective yeah that’s was great!

[@alexandersinn3548]

I have to ask what was the original ravel piece?

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

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.

[@FernandOrtizdeUrbina]

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

[@wyndhleodumegwu253]

+FernandOrtizdeUrbina Thanks, Fernando.

[@CPadgitt]

His tenor playing is good, but his flute playing is magnificent . A Fabius musician.

[@jerrylev59]

I know Fabius is good, but this guy is better. 😆

[@gilleslefilou6277]

​@@jerrylev59Fabius is only good to build his career. I didn't know that Bobby Jaspar plaid flute. Fabulous !

[@jenk4165]

Beautiful.

[@JazzMusicInstitute]

A wonderful talent!

[@KeisOhtsuka]

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).

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 !

[@yeankim690]

This is insane! ❤️

[@oostapchuk]

beautiful!

[@carlocoseca]

Magnifico!!!!

[@triplebuses955]

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.

[@arlene1934corwin]

Gorgeous!

[@Remkodelandmeter]

Great flutist!

[@TwainsBlues]

masterful playing

[@BennyMax37]

Nice, Big flutist and tenorsax.

[@CPadgitt]

I meant to write "a fabulous musician." He is without a doubt the best jazz flutist I have ever heard.

[@yishihara55527]

Hear more.

[@jazzrealities]

Great But any idea about personnel, date? The drummer is Daniel Humair - see his left hand playing jazzrealities Michael Frohne

[@PSavelon]

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.

[@vragenstaatvrij777]

+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.

[@markgarcia1824]

+pieter lucas maria lemmens Is there footage of the rest of the performance on KZbin?

[@steveslagle1859]

natural

[@arlene1934corwin]

I wonder how much, if at all he influenced Blossom. Answers anyone?

[@shingookudaira443]

Who is the lefty drummer, please?

[@jazzetguitare]

Daniel Humair
