Jacques Pelzer

Jacques Pelzer was a Belgian musician. He played alto saxophone and flute. Notably, his performance with Chet Baker was included on Baker's quintet's Brussels 1964 album.
He made his debut in 1947 the jazz band the "Bob Shots", which also featured René Thomas and Bobby Jaspar.
Over the years, he played with most of the great Belgian jazzmen but also with many American jazzmen.
His music was impregnated by bebop but also by cool jazz and the music of Lennie Tristano. However, in the 1960s he sometimes played free jazz and, in the 1970s, jazz fusion. Beginning in the 1980s, he returned to more “classical” aesthetics and “acoustic” jazz.
