Jacobs was born on 29 October 1934 in Hilversum, the Netherlands.[1] His parents were artistic.[2] He started playing the piano at the age of six.[1] His brother, Ruud, was born in 1938 and became a jazz bassist.[1]
Later life and careeredit
Pim and Ruud formed a trio with drummer Wessel Ilcken in 1954.[1] The band grew with the addition of guitarist Wim Overgaauw and Ilcken's wife, Rita Reys.[1] The trio recorded with Herbie Mann in 1956.[2] Following Ilcken's death in 1957, Pim Jacobs and Reys performed as a duo or trio with Overgaauw, and married in 1960.[1] They often recorded and played jazz festivals in Europe and New Orleans,[1] "their typical program featuring arrangements of vocal music standards as well as bebop material".[2] He also composed film music.[2]
"Jacobs also worked as a producer of non-jazz radio and television programs from 1964, briefly operated the Go Go Club in Loosdrecht, near Hilversum, from 1967, and recorded with Herbie Mann, Bob Cooper, Louis van Dijk, and his own trio."[1] For television, he hosted the music show Music for All.[2] In the 1970s and 1980s he presented concerts in schools.[2]
