INFO
Jack the hipster. A musician's musician. The wh ite negro from the docks. Jack Sels has been given many nicknames throughout the years. The Antwerp saxophone player who died at the mere age of 48 in 1970, rem ains Belgium's most mythical jazz musician, both to those who knew him during hi s lifetime and those who only know him from the stories - and there are quite so me stories to be told about Jack Sels. Throughout his career, he would play with jazz legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Young, Lou Bennett and Lucky Thomp son, but he remained virtually unknown outside Belgium due to his reluctance to leave Antwerp.
Almost fifty years after his death, Jack Sels remains Belgium's most intriguing jazz musician. Partly due to his limited discography, he is overlooked by a wider audience. Yet, his contribution to the development o f the modern jazz scene in Belgium cannot be overestimated, and neither can his influence on his fellow musicians, to whom he was the embodiment of jazz. As vib raphone player Fats Sadi once said: 'I loved Jack. He had never studied music an d didn't have the least bit of technique. But if Jack played, the gates of heave n opened. Jack was more jazz than jazz itself.'
'Minor Works' is a co llection of rare, previously unreleased studio and live recordings paying homage to the life and jazz of the enigmatic musician.
