Hans Dulfer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Dulfer (born May 28, 1940, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) is a Dutch jazz musician who plays tenor saxophone. He began at age 17 and has been referred to as "Big boy" because of his album of the same name. He has done a good deal of cross-over jazz or jazz fusion and even worked with Punk rockers at one point. He has comparatively high popularity in Japan[1] where Hyperbeat was a top-selling CD by instrumental standards. Furthermore Japanese film maker Masaaki Yuasa stated that he listened to Hans Dulfer's music while working on Mind Game.[2]
Hans Dulfer is the father of saxophonist Candy Dulfer and the two worked together on the album Big Girl, of which the title is partly a reference to him.
