playing his van Laar signature model flugelhorn with Paul Kuhn And 'The Best' & Babelsberger Filmorchester - 80th Birhday Tour Wackerhalle, 39th Internationale Jazzwoche Burghausen/Germany, 9th March 2008
I had the pleasure of touring with Ack back in 1978 in Peter Herbolzheimer's band in Germany. The trumpet section was myself, Ack, Kenny Wheeler and Alan Botschinsky. What a joy that tour was!!!!
Ack Van Rooyen, one of the great lyrical jazz players.... beautiful singing sound, long flowing lines. A true musician. I remember as a child hearing him on a Bert Kaempfert recording....... amazing playing.......
Fantastic BB Sound, and Ack van Rooyen gorgeous on his solos. For me, one of the best Thelonius Monk & Cootie Williams interpretations of 'Round Midnight' ever! Can't get enough listening to that tune.
I had already play this song.. and I can't explain the feeling I felt when i hear this player... ohhhhhhh mister, your really my idol : ) I miss my trumpet and my flugelhorn...
For some years now I'm carrying this with me wherever I go, first on my iPod, now on my iPad. What a musician(s). Ack van Rooyen, still going strong and even getting better. And Paul Kuhn. A breed of musicians that's seems to be slowly dissapearing.
Absolute artistry. Every note elaborated on the meaning of the composition. I'm a professional trumpet player and I can only strive to ever reach this level of improvisation. Thank you Ack! Wish I knew you.
Wat een kanjer ! Niet nu ineens, na zijn dood, maar gelukkig hem heeeeel erg veel live gehoord. Een van de meesters he ? op die toptoeter ! Wat een kanjer, wat een sound.

La strumento. Le sigo. mejor interpretación de este tema que he escuchado en mi vida. Sobervio el maestro Van Rooyen, un placer conocerlo a partir de esta esquisita grabación. Me ha convertido en su ferviente admirador, es usted un verdadero artista y maestro del innstrumento en cuestión -en mi país -Fliscorno-.
It is great playing flugelhorn. Player articulation (matches to my guidelines. Pseudonym Alien 78 producer Takagi S · critic Takagi S) It is a great mixing camera cut percentage of the sound. It is a sweet and gentle tone. Video of the title is an automatic translation of the Van Rooyen "Round Midnight" English Ack to the Japanese. フリューゲルホルンの素晴らしい演奏ですね。奏者アーティキュレーション（私のガイドラインに一致します。ペンネームはエーリアン７８・プロデューサー高木S・評論家高木S）音のミキシング・カメラカット割が素晴らしいですね。甘く優しい音色ですね。動画の題名は、Ackをファン・ロイヤン「ラウンド・ミッドナイト」英語を日本語に自動翻訳です。
