Jacky June

Jacky June (aka Jacke Jun, né Jean-Jacques Junne[1] 3 April 1924 – 28 September 2012)[2] was a Belgian jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and bandleader.

After World War II, June founded and directed his own jazz orchestra at the Hotel Cosmopolite Bruxelles.

He also played with Hot Club de Belgique and the Kot Jazzmen, the latter from which, in the 1950s, his Jump College Orchestra emerged.

[3][4][5][6] In the 1950s, his Jump College Orchestra fronted Charles Trenet and Marlene Dietrich at the Knokke Casino and Sidney Bechet at the Palais des Beaux-Arts.

At that time, a number of Brussels musicians went into hiding and got together in a tiny four-story building on the Rue des Moineaux.
