ADO BROODBOOM
JAZZ PORTRAIT
BOOK PRESENTATION ADO BROODBOOM TROMPET
Book presentation of the biography of Ado Broodboom, preceded by the new episode of Jazz Portraits about the respected trumpet player. ‘Trumpet? That was Ado Broodboom’ (Remco Campert).
In the 1950s and 60s Ado Broodboom was the number one Dutch jazz trumpeter, the star soloist of The Ramblers and co-founder of Boy’s Big Band. He recorded with American greats such as Herbie Mann and Lucky Thompson. From the liberation of The Netherlands onwards until the 1970s he toured Europe and beyond, playing in combo’s and big bands: from Sweden to Tangiers and from Switzerland to Carnegie Hall in New York.
Now aged well over 90, Ado Broodboom is still an engaging storyteller. Together with writer and jazz expert Bert Vuijsje he composed a first-person biography reflecting on his colorful life. The lavishly illustrated book contains a CD with musical highlights. At the Bimhuis the trumpeter will have a dialogue with author Vuijsje. The book presentation will be preceded by the episode in the Jazz Portraits series about Ado Broodboom.
