Rosetta - Dixieland Crackerjacks with Bob Erwig
Rosetta - Dixieland Crackerjacks with Bob Erwig 2007 A few weeks ago, when on holiday in my home country Holland, I met the Dixieland Crackerjacks. They were playing at a weddingparty near Edam. While in Canada I had admired their skill and talent via youtube and I had corresponded several times with leader Bert Brandsma. It was with great pleasure that they gave me the chance to play a few tunes with the band. They only played in their smaller quartet setting at this gig but I enjoyed every minute. Bert is a woderful supportive bass sax player. Together with their young and skillful banjoplayer Rocky van Schaik it was such a joy to sit in. Bert’s wife, Sliding Selena is a treasure by itself. She is only just thirty but plays with a sincere maturity that I usually only find with much older musicians. I was the rusty old fellow, It was certainly nice to sit in with such energetic, young and talented traditional jazz musicians. Also compliments for the nice filming by Crackerjack’s trumpetplayer Michael Muller. A creative man! Find them on their website at http://www.dixielandcrackerjacks.com/

Save Your Sorrow - We Three + Bob Erwig
Save Your Sorrow - We Three & Bob Erwig 2007 Last week at the Penticton Jazz Festival I was invited to play a few tunes with “We Three”. Bob Draga on clarinet, Jeff Barnhart on piano and Danny Coots on drums are a trio of incredible musicians with a great sense of humor making it fun for themselves and the audience. I knew Bob from festivals and seacruises since the late eighties. I had met Jeff during an evening at my friend Simon Stribling’s place in Vancouver but I had never met or played with Danny Coots. I listened to him many times before and found him to be a superb drummer. Of course I was not as prepared for this as I should have been. My chops are not what they used to be, but....., you just dive in and take it from there. Being more or less retired from it all, this became for me an unforgettable experience. My wife Ilse was there to do the filming and under difficult circumstances she managed to capture the feeling. Unfortunenately the piano was hidden and with only Jeff’s head visible she could not catch any of his wonderful finger work. Save your sorrow is a fairly unknown tune. I learned it a few years ago from a recording of Max Kaminsky in an Eddie Condon Commodore session. I was amazed that Jeff not only knew a verse chorus but also sang the lyrics. It was Bob's first time with this tune. The man got a darn good ear.

I Can't give you... Bob Erwig & Rob Herwig
I can't give you anything but love -- Bob Erwig&Rob Herwig 2007 In October last year we travelled through France and we stayed in a wonderful bed & Breakfast Chateau overlooking the Bay of St Michel. Madame Suzanney Leroy, who likes jazz and also speaks English owns the castle and at her request we played a few tunes early in the morning. Rob and his wife Karen were on their way from Holland to their home in the Pyranees and joined us for a few days. A week before we had a reunion session band session in Holland to celebrate the fact that we had a band some 55 years earlier when we were still in school. http://www.dailymotion.com/boberwig/video/x3rgjo_south-black-bottom-jazz-band_music by the way, you should check out Madame Leroyy website. Certainly worth a visit! http://www.allchateaux.com/chateauleshauts.html I also made a picture film of the castle! http://www.dailymotion.com/boberwig/video/x42zg7_dinah-reinhart_music

Some of these days - Erwig-Herwig 2007
Some of these days - Bob Erwig-Rob Herwig 2007 On our trip through France we stayed in several French chateaux. In the Chateau-Les-Hauts in St Jean de Thomas near Mont St Michel in Normandy Ilse and I were joined by Rob Herwig and his wife Karen. Rob used to play piano in one of our earliest bands more than 50 years ago in the Netherlands. Rob had become a famous author on gardening and houseplants and wrote more than 70 books translated in some 20 languages. We had not seen him for all that time but a week earlier he was part of a reunion of our band. Rob and his wife now live in the Pyrenees and from the Netherlands on their way home they decided to join us for a few days and we spent time to visit Mont St Michel. The beautiful Chateau-Les-Hauts was reconstructed in the 19th century on the ashes of a medieval castle. It is furnished with mostly antiques and it features large bedrooms, many with balconies, and ensuite bathrooms. In the living room there was a large grand piano and Rob and I could not resist to give it a little try. Our hostess, Mme Suzanne Leroy, offered us a warm-up drink, a local home made calvados which we tasted with certain reservations. She liked jazz and had hosted other jazz musicians in her castle as well. We played 'Some of these days' and our efforts were filmed both by Ilse and Karen. http://www.au-chateau.com/LesHauts.htm http://www.librarything.com/author/herwigrob

Wolverine Blues -Bob's music 1965
Wolverine Blues - Bob’s music in 1965This is a recording of one of the earliest bands in which I played my trumpet. It was still in Holland, the year before I left for Canada to search for a new life. Would there be a possible way to enjoy playing my beloved horn again?At least I had a wonderful band. We worked hard, had plenty of gigs and were in the recording studio to play this tune.Today, some 45 years later, I still enjoy listening to this music. I hope you do as well.Use a headphone for optimal sound reproductionMusicians: Bob Erwig trumpet, Joop Postma clarinet, Jan Meeuwisse trombone, Dick Posthuma piano, Ad Funke banjo, Ad Wijn bass, Ted de Jong drums

Ol' Man River - Climax Jazz Band 1881
Ol’Man River - Climax Jazz Band 1981.It was in 1981, about 10 years after our band was created. I have chosen on of my favourite tunes from this album. Ol’ Man River is an old standard and I’m always reminded by that 1928 recording of Bix Beiderbecke. These old 78’s (Bix) and also the newer LP’s (the track here on Youtube) are virtually forgotten. I like to bring this back. Hope you like it as much as we did when we made it. In the band: Bob Erwig cornet, Ian Arnott clarinet, Len Gosling trombone, Jack Vicken banjo, Chris Daniels bass and Max Littlejohns srums

Jeep's blues - Canadian Hot Jazz Orchestra
Jeep’s Blues – Canadian Hot Jazz Orchestra 1999 A band created in Vancouver by pianist Dr Roland-Romain Fischer originally from Switzerland with the idea to be a feature at Rotary events and conventions spend several months practicing and then decided to record. The band spend two full days of recording and enough material was then ready and a nice full hour CD was produced and distributed worldwide among Rotary International organisations. Unfortunately nothing came from this and the jazz loving public never had a chance to meet or hear this fine band. I had spend a lot of time organizing most of the material, leading the rehearsals and I felt that through youtube I’ll still be able to let you enjoy some of the recorded audio material of the band. Dr Roland Romain Fischer piano, Bob Erwig cornet, Lloyd Arntzen clarinet/soprano sax, David Griggs trombone, Kim Nishikawara saxes/clarinet, Ron Thompson guitar/banjo, Paul Bergman acoustic bass, Bob Rebagliati drums

Someday Sweetheart - Simon and Bob
Someday Sweetheart - Society Four 1999When a young man from Australia in 1998 came to live and settle in Canada I suddenly had a new friend in jazz. Simon Stribling is an incredible trumpetplayer but also plays clarinet, trombone, all the saxes, from soprano- to bass-sax, and tuba as well. For about 4 years I had a man around who influenced me enormously. We started a 4 piece band, which we called the Society Four , this group could be stretched to Society 5, 6 and 7 if needed. Simon was originally the leader/trumpettist from Australia’s world renowned Hotter Than Six.Unfortunately we don’t have any videos from that period but both of us made many audio recordings.From the Society Four here is Someday Sweetheart recorded during a private setting in Vancouver in 1999.The fellows in the band are Simon Stribling on clarinet, Bob Erwig cornet, Don Ogilvie guitar and Paul Bergman bass.

Sugar - Okanagan Swing 2008
Sugar – Okanagan Swing 2008 This is the first time that I have a chance to present “Okanagan Swing” on youtube and dailymotion.. I played succesfully with many bands in my home country Holland and then during my working years in Toronto. We retired in BC near Vancouver in 1996 and because of the larger population a lot of experienced jazz musicians lived there. Then in 2002 my wife and I moved to the Okanagan, a very nice lakeside and mountainous area in Central British Columbia. The Okanagan is a sparsely populated area and it took some time to find musicians who had some idea of my kind of jazz. This band tries to get together a couple times a month for rehearsals and we have a good time and usually combine this with a couple of glasses red wine. One of the first public performances was last April. We played a concert at the Vernon Jazz Society. A jazz club with a very nice atmosphere. In the band: Don Ross on tenor saxophone, Bjorn Edblad clarinet, me (Bob Erwig) on cornet, George Beazley piano, Randy Millan guitar, Bernie Addington bass and former trumpetplayer Jazzbo Bill Lowden on drums.

China Boy - Brian Ogilvie
China Boy - Bob Erwig session. 1987 I always look for something out of the ordinary. At this afternoon concert featuring several Toronto jazz bands I was able to organize a little jam session. Jim Galloway, the organizer of the event played his soprano saxophone, Brian Ogilvie, who played that afternoon with his quartet joined us on the tenor saxophone. Our Climax banjo player Jacques Vincken played banjo. An old friend since the early days in Canada was pianist Ron Sorley and we had a tremendously talented tubaplayer. We left drums out of this session because with piano, banjo and tuba a somewhat different rhythm feel can make a unique atmosphere which sometimes get different creative juices flowing by the frontline musicians. I haven’t seen and heard this clip for more than 15 years and I like it. My wife Ilse filmed this with our then brandnew video 8 camera.

Just you, Just me - Bob Erwig's band 1995
Just You, Just Me – Bob Erwig’s Band 1995 This was filmed at a jazz festival in Alexandria Bay, New York. As such we were not a regular band but would do Wednesday night gigs as a trio ot quartet and some of the musicians available would show up. This was the first and I believe only time that this group came together to perform at a festival. Most of the musicians played with other bands on a regular basis. To me it was very special to have Terry Pitts on trombone. Terry had retired in Ontario after a long career as a member of the famous Cy Laurie band from the London England area. A man with a great ear for the music, an incredible knowledge of the jazz history and a wonderful perception of the humor surrounding all of this. Very unfortunate Terry is no longer with us. He is missed by his jazz friends all over the world. Other members were Michael Warmsley guitar, Allistair Lauwrie clarinet, Adam Saunders piano and Ron Johnsson bass, altogether a fine band and good group of old friends.

Climax JB 1991 - I never knew what a gal could do
I Never Knew what a Gal could do – Climax Jazz band 1991 Already in 1925 this was recorded by the Original New Orleans Rhytm Kings with Paul Mares cornet, Santa Pecora trombone, Leon Roppolo clarinet all talented white musicians who became a sample and had influence on the musical development of Bix Beiderbecke. We practiced this great tune as well and had a chance to have it recorded while we were playing at the Indianapolis Festival in 1991. I left the band in 1996 and moved to British Columbia. I wonder if Climax still has it in their repertoire.

Oh didn't he ramble - Climax Jazz Band 1991
Oh didn’t he Ramble - Climax Jazz Band 1991. This has been a tune on my repertoire since I started playing in the fifties. In Holland. I had a fine band called the Rampart Night Hawks. I dedicate this tune, here played by the 1991 Climax Jazz Band, to Jasper van Pelt. Jasper is the son of my trombone player in the Night Hawks, Ad van Pelt, and Jasper plays an excellent tailgate trombone him self. He presented on youtube a version of Oh didn’t he Ramble of a 1959 concert of Louis Armstrong in Italy ( you’ll find his site under jaspervanpelt). In 2005 I had a chance to play with Jasper when I was in Holland on holidays. In our presentation we have Pete Sagermann on trombone, Mick Lewis on clarinet, me, Bob Erwig on cornet, Jamie Aug on drums and Chris Daniels on bass. Jack Vincken on banjo emigrated from Holland a year before I did and was in our early days a member of Rampart Night Hawks as well.

Someday Sweetheart - Society Four 1999
Someday Sweetheart – Society Four 1999 In 1999 when Simon Stribling, the leader of one of Australia’s best jazzbands (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CODjD6VIbnM&feature=related ) had just moved to Western Canada we became best of friends. Next to being an extremely good trumpet player I found out that Simon also was a gifted player on many other instruments. He played clarinet, all the saxophones, trombone and was a mean sousaphone player. We started a band. We called it the Society Four, Five, Six or Seven depending on who wanted to hire us and the number went up depending on the buyers budget. Unfortunately we never made any videos so we have to cope in this clip with pictures. In this clip Simon plays the clarinet. To me is one of the jazziest clarinet men I ever had the chance to play with. He doesn’t think too highly of it himself on this instrument. There are feelings of Teschemacher, Pee Wee Russell and of course he has been influenced by the fabulous Australian Ade Monsbourgh. The band: Simon Stribling clarinet, Don Ogilvie guitar, Paul Bergmann bass and yours Bob Erwig on cornet. The accompanying pictures are just some photos of Simon and myself on different occasions.

Someday You'll be Sorry - Mike:Bob
Someday You’ll be Sorry - Mike and his Gang 1994 Our good friend and guitarist/banjoist Mike Warmsley works as a surgeon at the Mississauga Hospital in Ontario, Canada. He arranged for a coffee break performance in the staff lunch room. Together with Mike we organized a nice little session group. Allistair Lawrie, a editor of Toronto’s Globe and Mail made himself available. Al. originally from Edinbrough is a devotee of the Benny Goodman style of playing. A retired bank executive from London England who had emigrated to Canada, Terry Pitts, played trombone. In his earlier days Terry was the trombonist of the famous Sy Laurie Jazz Band from London. A visitor to Canada, Graham Scriven on drums lives in Egland and next to professional drumming hosts local jazz radio shows. Chris Daniels, originally from the Liverpool area is the bassist of our Climax Jazz Band. Mike, originally from London as well, and myself being a former Dutchman makes this a typical Canadian Band. The camera man was an acrobat. He crawled anywhere and filmed without loosing a beat from underneath, sideways, closeup end so on. Hope you enjoy this freewheeling little early morning session, not usually the place where jazz musicians are most comfortable.

Burgundy Street Blues - Mick Lewis
Clarinettist Mick Lewis was a member of our Climax Jazz Band from 1981 until 2002 and is now more or less retired from music. I had the pleasure to play with him for more than 15 years. We probably did some 200 jazz festivals together and some 1500 gigs. Mick was not just a great bandsman, but was most often featured with solo pieces, which got audiences hopping.Mick, originally from the English Midlands was very much influenced by Acker Bilk and Monty Sunshine and loved the George Lewis original recordings.In this clip Mick plays his own special feature arrangement of "Burgundy Street Blues" during the 1991 Indianapolis Jazz FestivalIn the full band:Bob Erwig, Mick Lewis, Peter Sagerman, Jack Vincken, Chris Daniels, Jamie Aug

Careless Love - Society Four 1999
Careless Love - Society Four 1999.Pee Wee Russell, or maybe even Frank Teschemacher, might have liked this. An original approach on clarinet as well on altosax make me enjoy this artist. Yes......... it’s Simon Stribling. Just a few months before this session, trumpeter, trombonist, tubaist and player of all reed instruments had moved from Australia to settle in Canada in the Vancouver area. It was my luck to meet this young man and for several years we worked together on music, websites and our Webofjazz.It was on a grey weekday morning in September 1999 in the jazz club on Main Street in Vancouver. We had a rehearsal/recording session organized with our newly formed Society Four. We invited Jim Marsh on banjo. We had our regular bassist Paul Bergman and I played the cornet. Now it feels as if it has just happened and then to think that it was more than 10 years ago. Where does time go. From a shelf in the basement, I can now share these with you via iTunes.Bob Erwig
