Huub Janssen drums with the Dutch Swing College Band. Leader Peter Schilperoort soprano sax, Bert de Kort cornet, Bob Kaper alto sax, Dick Kaart trombone, Jaap van Kempen guitar, Henk Bosch van Drakensteyn bass.

Together with Italian drummer Charly Antolini, British drummer Peter York, Huub Janssen belongs to the top European drummers. Particularily special is his perception and approach. This with en inborn sense of humor together with his visual effects makes him even more outstanding and puts him in a class apart with drummer Jo Jones. Huub is a totally fascinating performer and from the drummers I have seen and heard I personally rank him among the world's very best.

A jazz musician for 50 years, Huub Janssen (16 January 1937) earned his reputation in the Dutch Swing College Band with whom he played for 25 years.

first-class Dutch Dixieland musicians.
