Drummer, arranger and former tapdancer Antoon Aukes (1954) is an accomplished performer and teacher of vintage drumstyles, specialyzing in Second Line drumming. Among others he performed internationally with "Tiny" Moore (ex Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys), Santiago Jimenez Jr. (Texas conjunto master), Tim O'Brien (Americana master, http://www.timobrien.net), "Sax" Gordon Beadle (W.C. Handy-award nominee, http://www.saxgordon.com) and Guadalupe Urbina (Costa Rican singer http://www.guadalupeurbina.com).
After finishing his studies at the music conservatory in 1982, Antoon has been active as a music educator since, covering a widespread field of teaching facilities, from schools to universities, from classes to individuals. Since 1986 Antoon teaches music at the Concordia Arts & Culture Centre in Enschede, The Netherlands, where he lives.
Mr. Aukes has been studying New Orleans drumming ever since Dr. John the Night Tripper's "Gumbo" album came out in 1972. He started writing on SECOND LINE in 1995. An important part of the book's research took place in New Orleans, where Antoon took drumlessons from Johnny Vidacovich (jazz, see Links), Fred Staehle (R&B) and Barry Martyn (trad. jazz). He also researched the Hogan Jazz Archive at the Tulane University in New Orleans, see Links. In 1999, Mr. Bruce Reaburn, curator of the Hogan Jazz Archive, read and annotated the first manuscript of SECOND LINE. With Dr. John Antoon had three extensive meetings, resulting in Dr. John's writing of a foreword to the book, see Homepage.
