GER VAN LEEUWEN Old 78rpm gramophone records are almost vanished from junkshops and jumble sales and if you find spome, the quality of the records might be worse. But sometimes you can find a hidden treasure inside a pile of records - one which seemed to be uninteresting, happened to surprise you .... like the Kwartet Ger Van Leeuwen.

FRITS LANDESBERGEN QUARTET ( Frits Landesbergen ) Frits Landesbergen performed lately with his quartet at the Porgy en Bess Jazz Club in Terneuzen in the southwest part of The Netherlands.

NELSON LATIF He often played the guitar only with his left hand, which is to say, he made the sounds only on the neck of the guitar. He did this with the greatest naturalness. He played whatever piece looking towards the sky, towards a wall, not paying attention to the neck of the guitar. Hev had a fingering and quality that until today I have not seen ( Leal and Barbosa refering to João Fernambuco) The Brazilian - Dutch guitar and cavaquinho player Nelson Latif released a tribute to this great legendary Choro composer and guitarist João Pernambuco entitled Nelson Latif: tributo a João Pernambuco Durium

CHARQUET & Co Charquet & Co is one of those bands, who impressed traditional jazz fans during the 1970s. The music of Jean-Pierre Morel and his men, sounded like his 1920s ancestors without copying it. Late 1970s Jean-Pierre Morel stopped to perform - the recordings from May 1978 at the Internationales Dixieland-Festival Dresden '78 and in Nantes (La France) were the band's last. Fans had to wait for twenty years when Le Petit Jazzband de Mr. Morel was founded. Charquet & Co. - Live in Holland (1976-1977) Durium

THE RAMBLERS In years of dance-going, I have heard and danced to the music of America's finest orchestras, but it is my opinion that your orchestra plays the most danceable musical arrangements I have ever heard. Your "presentations" are the equal of the superior arrangements of Fred Waring's orchestra, which plays fine choral arrangements but does not play dance music. ( Edward F. Kennedy, special advisor of the American Military Service in Bavaria (Germany)) in a leter to Theo Uden Masman, the leader of the band (ca. 1949) De Ramblers: Recordings from a post-war Brussels Durium

Dorsey. In the first mix he offers some catching dance music from the 1930s: Jungle Crawl Congo Jazz: A musical expedition Durium

THOM KELLING Thom Kelling was for me the first artist I heard in a live concert mid 1960s ... After the concert all my friends stood in line to get his autograph ... so did I !! He came to Goes ( in the southwest part of The Netherlands), a small city near by, to give a schoolconcert. I don't remember the concert itself, but I still feel that thrilling excitement getting his autograph .... Thom Kelling: A Dutch Latino Durium

RICK MARGITZA - IVAN PADUART TRIO Porgy en Bess - Terneuzen Sunday afternoon 7th of February 2010 Tenor saxophonist Rick Margitza performed with the Ivan Paduart Trio in a concert at the Porgy en Bess Jazz Club in Terneuzen, in the south west part of The Netherlands, on the 7th of February, 2010. It was a pity that the name of Rick Margitza, who played with great names like Maynard Ferguson, Bobby Hutcherson, McCoy Tyner and Miles Davis didn't guarantee a full house: half of the seats of the club were empty. And Ivan Paduart, Philippe Aerts and Mimi Venderame too, belong to the best in Belgian jazz. Keep swinging Durium

Django's music will remain an important contribution to jazz. ( Jørgen Larsen) Django Reinhardt 100; The postwar years Keep swinging Durium
