'Reading ‘Jazz, Blues and Spirituals’ has revived my gratitude for Rookmaaker’s teaching, writing and passions. It has revived my appreciation for the significant part his ideas and understandings played in my own appreciation of the Arts, and that of many others. It has enabled reflection on the personal journey I have made in appreciating the Arts, both in terms of understanding where that journey began and where I am in the present.
Most of all though, reading ‘Jazz, Blues and Spirituals’ has introduced me to musicians about whom I knew little previously and enlivened my appreciation for the roots of the music with which I am most familiar.'
I interviewed Marleen Hengelaar-Rookmaaker, Editor-in-Chief of ArtWay, for Artlyst and asked her then about Hans Rookmaaker, her father, and his legacy. The interview can be read at https://www.artway.eu/artway.php?id=1019&lang=en&action=show.
