Pierre Courbois is one of the few 'living legends' of the Dutch Jazz World. He is a musician with a strong standing among his peers, a rich body of work and a solid reputation both in and outside of the Netherlands. Pierre, the son of a jeweler, was born April 23, 1940, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. He studied percussion along with composition and piano at the Hogeschool der Kunsten (HKA) in Arnhem.
After finishing his studies in 1960 Pierre left for Paris, the center of Jazz in Europe at the time.
There he worked with a number of jazz giants (pianist Kenny Drew, violinist Jean-Luc Ponty, saxophonists Stan Getz and Johnny Griffin and guitarist René Thomas) at the legendary jazz club, the Blue Note.
He has also played with the legendary saxophonists Ben Webster and Eric Dolphy, the pianists Mal Waldron, Jasper van 't Hof and Rein de Graaff, horn players Willem Breuker, Hans Dulfer and Theo Loevendie, the Gunter Hampel Group and the European Jazz Quintet.
Courbois was one of the first musicians in Europe to experiment with improvised music or 'Free Jazz.' In 1961 he became the drummer and leader of a unique group in Europe for its time, the Original Dutch Free Jazz Quartet.
In 1965 Pierre started another group, the Free Music Quintet, composed of international musicians. The albums from the Free Music Quintet recorded under the ESP label have been called the best example of European Jazz.
Pierre Courbois continued to push musical boundaries in 1969 with the first European 'Rock-Jazz' group, Association PC. This famous ensemble, winner of the famed American Down Beat poll, existed until 1992 with different members, including Jasper van 't Hof, Joachim Kühn, Toto Blanke, Sigi Busch and Jeremy Steig.
