Dans les rues d'Antibes Climax Jazz Band 1996

Dans les rues d'Antibes Climax Jazz Band 1996 Sidney Bechet composed this wonderful tune "Dans les rues d'Antibes" in the mid fifties when he lived in France. I have been in love with this tune since the early seventies and after we had Jim Buchmann, who joined our Toronto Climax Jazz Band in 1976 we have recorded this tune several times. Jim is an excellent soprano sax player and plays the saxello, which is a slightly curved soprano sax built in 1930 by the King instrument family and later replaced by the more mellow sounding fully curved sopsax that looks like a miniature alto sax. Then some 20 years later, just before I left the band to move to British Columbia we played a series of concerts in Japan. In our Climax band we had for these concerts a majority of Dutch musicians in the band. Yes folks, the Dutch can do it. 4 Dutchmen, 2 Brits, a Canadian and an American! Pieter Meijers played fantastic soprano sax, on the carillon in the tower Jacques Maassen pumped out some chording, my friend since kindergarden ( kleuterschool ) Jacques ( now Jack) Vincken played banjo (and in this tune a very nice solo as well) and I played cornet. For these concerts I was able to borrow a goldplated Getzen cornet from my collector friend Dick Luker. Our regular announcer/bassplayer Chis Daniels ( a Brit) would always announce myself first and then mention that one Dutchman in a band is more than enough following the announcement of banjoist Jack Vincken. I can laugh about his British sense of humor but it certainly felt good to be in the majority with these talented originally Dutch musicians.
