Nur wenige europäische Musiker haben für ihre künstlerischen Verdienste die Ehrenbürgerschaft der historischen Hauptstadt des Jazz, New Orleans, erhalten. Unter ihnen findet sich auch der Name von Jan Jankeje, des deutschen Musikers mit slowakischen Wurzeln, der nach seiner gut 30jährigen Aktivität über 10 Schallplatten und Hunderte von Zusammenarbeiten u.a. mit Künstlern vom Format eines Benny Watres, Doc Cheathan, Al Casey, Les Paul, Eigen Cicero und Oscar Klein vorzuweisen hat. Ausser durch seine Filmvertonungen - darunter der letzte Film von Fassbinder mit Jeanne Moreau - tut sich Jan Jankeje ebenso durch seine brillante Beherrschung des Swingrepertoires hervor.
