Milenberg Joys - Dutch Swing College Band in 1960.
Leader Peter Schilperoort had left the band for a few years to persue a career as an engineer in aviation.
In 1960 he returned and reorganized the band to become a full professional unit.
From Austria he had Oscar Klein on cornet, coming from a Dutch dance orchestra he found trombonist Dickie Kaart. Former members who stayed in the band were Jan Morks clarinet, Bob van Oven bass and Martin Beenen drums. Former real estate agent and banjo player Arie Ligthart became the band's business manager as well.

  • At that time I still lived and played in Holland and I remember the announcements of the new band. We were surprised, especially a so called modernist replacing Kolstee. It all worked out just fine.

  • The band that sparked my love for jazz when I was a 7 year old kid. Fantastic!

  • In the early 60's I was Ad Manager for the Uganda Argus in Kampala, Uganda. I well remember this band on a one night stand at a local cinema, organized by the local Rotary Club. I handled and provided much publicity prior to their arrival...had a prime seat for the show, which was sold out! I've been a fan ever since.

  • Jan Morks, nog steeds ongeëvenaard ondanks dat ie al bijna 30jr geleden overleed.

  • wow!!! what a band ! the very best ever..!!!
