After he visited the Jazz festival in Maastricht in 1984, he and his friend a trombone player, formed the “Original Stöb Jazz Band” in 1985, playing traditional Jazz. He still plays and leads that jazz band, that was renamed in the "New Orleans Dusty Duds" and after some changes is nowadays called the “Gumbo Jazzband”.

After visiting the Ascona Jazz Festival in 1986 and hearing Doc Paulin’s en Harold Dejan’s Brass Bands René ask him to play in Maastricht's the first brass band, the “King Zulu Brass Band”.
In 1997 he was one of the formers of the Hurricane Brassband and become their leader until today.
He never, regular, played in a band that not played traditional jazz. Hugo
