Rooyen, Jerry van - 1928 -
2009
Jerry
van Rooyen was born 31 December 1928 in The Hague. He took his
first music lessons at the age of eight and soon after joined
a brass band on trumpet, his favorite instrument. Later he studied
music at the Dutch conservatory in Den Haag and graduated as a
music teacher. His professional career started in 1944, as first
trumpet in a Dutch revue show. In 1955 he signed as first trumpet
and arranger for the famous Dutch radio orchestra The Ramblers,
but also jammed with his own jazz combo in nightclubs. 1959 found
Van Rooyen in Paris, where he conducted and arranged for Fontana
Records, working with Michel Legrand, Claude Bolling and Gilbert
Becaud. In 1965 he met film producer Pier A. Caminneci in Berlin,
which made him explore new musical territories by contributing
some of the weirdest, most off-beat filmscores of their time,
to at least seven Caminneci productions. This seemingly minor
event in a very successful and international career was compiled
in 2003 by German specialist label Crippled Dick: Jerry van Rooyen
At 250 Miles Per Hour.
