with Paul Kuhn And 'The Best' & Babelsberger Filmorchester - 80th Birhday Tour
Wackerhalle, 39th Internationale Jazzwoche Burghausen/Germany, 9th March 2008

[@vaxtrpts1]

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!!!!

[@sommelierramon]

What a topshift you did met Herbolzheimer.

[@MR-cc7zl]

He was 78 years old here, playing like he's smack in the middle of his prime! Amazing!

[@belajakob6994]

M R I met him last week, he is 90 now and still sounds the same, it’s unbelievable!

[@DUKEisALIVE]

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

[@johntatum8088]

At 78, smack in the middle of his prime...encouraging words to me at 70.

[@sommelierramon]

Was fot Ack exactly no problem ,he was fortunate. You hear his phrasing with his horn ? Djeezus wat a topper !

[@thebesthoff3270]

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

[@MrDaemondays]

Goodbye legend. We will miss you.

[@wythetrumpet6419]

Ack is absolutely one of the finest jazz musicians of our time! The flugelhorn is magical in his hands! Love that sound!

[@kamarbazarek6460]

R.I.P. Ack van Rooyen - du jazzt jetzt im Himmel...welch ein Sound für die Engel...

[@mikelovattsbrasspack]

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.......

[@cfb15jan]

Could not agree more, Mike, well said.

[@MrWalterljohnson]

one of the best versions I've heard!

[@javiergaitan572]

The best solo artistry, great sound!!!!!

[@malisong9632]

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.

[@malisong9632]

+Mali Song Oh, is there any transcribt available of Ack's solos? I'd love to play a cover version. ;-)

[@sommelierramon]

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.

[@LMart97]

Great piece and wonderful to see a drummer still using brushes.

[@Limersjazz]

Melody and Artist in a Perfect Match. Ten out of Ten.

[@djesket]

Dit is zo geweldig met de hoorn en het strijkorkest! Mooi tone :)

[@Theo1934]

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.

superb, warm, but still clear sound, i love it

[@feelnowayss]

I come back so often 😩. Ack’s flugel playing is amazing!

Ack van Rooyen was also the featured solo trumpet/flugelhorn player in Bert Kaempfert's Orchestra for almost 12 years.

[@paulward1119]

Trying to learn this score from This flugelhorn player he’s too good I can’t grasp what he’s doing .. GOD bless him wow

[@alanfreeland4276]

Superb playing on the flugel!!

[@miratakagi]

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。

[@eranimongelos5749]
