Bob Kaper, also known as ‘The Dutch Benny Goodman’, is a virtuoso clarinetist who rose to fame with the swinging Flashback Quartet. With the Bob Kaper Quartet, we take you back to that era and bring the music of Benny Goodman back to life, recreating the atmosphere of Goodman’s legendary concert at Carnegie Hall in New York in 1938. In 1966, he became part of the Dutch Swing College Band, where he was active for no less than fifty years. First as a replacement for Peter Schilperoort, and from 1969 as permanent clarinetist and musical director. This afternoon, the band is joined by guest and virtuoso Jacco Griekspoor on vibraphone.
