Timeline

1940

Pierre Courbois (born 23 April 1940 in Nijmegen, Netherlands) is a Dutch jazz drummer, bandleader, and composer.

1960

After studying percussion at the Hogeschool der Kunsten in Arnhem, Courbois left for Paris, the center of jazz in Europe in the early 1960s.

He worked with pianist Kenny Drew, violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, saxophonists Eric Dolphy, Ben Webster, Stan Getz, and Johnny Griffin, and guitarist René Thomas.

Courbois was one of the first musicians in Europe to experiment with free jazz.

1961

In 1961 he became the drummer and leader of the (Original Dutch) Free Jazz Quartet.

1965

In 1965 he started another group, the Free Music Quintet, composed of international musicians.

He also played and recorded with Gunter Hampel's Heartplants Group with Manfred Schoof and Alexander von Schlippenbach.

1969

In 1969 Courbois founded the first European jazz-rock group, Association P.C. This ensemble, winner of the Down Beat poll, existed until 1975 with Toto Blanke, Sigi Busch, different keyboardists, including Jasper van 't Hof, Joachim Kühn and Sigi Kessler.

1982

In 1982 he founded New Association with Heribert Wagner, Ben Gerritsen and Ferdi Rikkers.

He has also played with the pianists Mal Waldron, and Rein de Graaff, horn players Willem Breuker, Hans Dulfer and Theo Loevendie, and Ali Haurand's European Jazz Quintet with Gerd Dudeck, Leszek Zadlo and Alan Skidmore.

1992

In 1992 Courbois started a quintet and for the first time in his career performed pieces all composed by himself.

This ensemble pleasantly surprised both the critics and the public with a return to the Charles Mingus tradition - thematic, melodic ensemble jazz and an experimentation with linear improvisation.

1994

During the 1994 North Sea Jazz Festival the Bird Award, the highest award in the Dutch Jazz World, was bestowed upon Courbois.

1999

In 1999 he founded the Double Quintet and in 2003 the Five Four Sextet, with Eric Vloeimans, Ilja Reijngoud, Jasper Blom, Paul van Kemenade, and Niko Langenhuijsen.

2000

Since 2000 he has been a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau and in 2008 he received the VPRO / Boy Edgar Award.
