Introduction
Hans Dulfer is one of Holland's best known and most
versatile musicians. He closely follows the latest trends, but maintains to be a typical jazz musician. For many years he operated as a stage performer par excellence, putting record making on the second plan. When in the nineties he finally becomes serious about recording, large-scale success follows in the Netherlands and even a star status in Japan.

1940 - 1968
Growing up in Amsterdam West, Hans Dulfer (Amsterdam, May 28, 1940) as a teenager became interested in jazz music. He taught himself to play saxophone and plays since 1957 in the big band of Theo Deken. In 1958 he joins the Clous van Mechelen Combo, in 1961 he was a member of the Metropolitain Quintet. In the mid sixties he plays with Willem Breuker and is a member of the Big Ballad Boogie Blues Beat Bounce Band. Dulfer plays also freejazz with Peter Snoei. He has since then become one of the most prominent figures of the Dutch jazz scene.

1968 - 1972
From 1968 to 1969 Dulfer was leading the band Heavy Soul Inc. with Willem van Manen (trombone), Maarten van Regteren Altena (bass) and Han Bennink (drums). He started in September 1968 with the series Jazz at Paradiso. In 1969 Dulfer wins the Wessel Ilcken Prize. Dulfers interest in pop music leads to collaboration with rock bands like Groep 1850 and Barrelhouse. Together with Jan Akkerman Dulfer records the album The Morning After The Third in 1970, followed by the solo records Candy Clouds and El Saxofon. He was accompanied on these records, among others, by Latin musicians from the group Ritmo Natural.

 

1975 - 1981
In this period Dulfer performs with 'De Perikels' band in which tenor saxophonist Rinus Groeneveld and some former members of the Amsterdam funk band Solat play: Mr. Slim (steel drums, percussion), Frank Douglas (guitar), Glenn Gaddum sr. (piano, clavinet), Eddie Veldman (drums, vocals), Mitchell Callender (bass, vocals), Koko Kowsolea (congas), Glenn van Windt (timbales ), Lilian Jackson (vocals), Peggy Larson (vocals) and Mildred Douglas (vocals). Additionally Dulfer becomes board member at the Bimhuis, advisor to the North Sea Jazz Festival, and writes columns for music magazine OOR. He helps Dutch Rock artist Herman Brood in 1978 with his Cha Cha project, and plays regularly again with Barrelhouse. The book Jazz In China, published in 1980, contains articles and columns Dulfer has written over the years for various magazines. After releasing the album 'I Did not Ask' with De Perikels on the Vara Gram-label, he ends the group in 1981.

1982 - 1987
Dulfer focusses on playing electric freefunk with his new band Reflud (Dulfer vice versa) with a.o. Thijs Vermeulen on bass.
