Circus Square Jazz Band 1952 - 1971

History of Circus Square Jazz Band from 1952 to 1971

1964 - CSJB

In november 2005 Paul Zelders finally decided that it was about time to start a separate website with historical information and music of the Circus Square Jazz Band (CSJB) during the period from 1952 to 1971 (see photo).

Many present CSJB fans are not aware of the band’s existence during these years. It is a fact that the CSJB (apart from a few unintendedly forced breaks) has been in the Dutch jazzscene for more than half a century!

Paul enthousiastically plunged into the past and revisited these early CSJB days in order to gather information. Finally he mastered two CD’s (see CD’s for Fans) from the collected material like tapes of radio broadcasts and other recordings from the sixties and early seventies.

Jan van Hulten engineered the CD’s and Fred Zelders constructed the website. Both are kindly acknowledged for their assistence!
