Live and act

Palinckx, who received guitar lessons as a teenager, first practiced in the attic with his younger brother Bert Palinckx . Since 1983 they performed together as Palinckx & Palinckx and initially played experimental jazz. In 1984 the band released their first album, Maartse Buien . In 1986 the formation expanded to the Palinckx nonet and played a number of concerts in the Netherlands with material from their (as yet unreleased) LP Grrroeten ; the following year the album Grrgroups was released . In 1988 he performed as a duo with his brother; he also began a collaboration with Guus Janssen , with whom he later wrote the opera Noach (1994). In 1989 the Palinckxquartet was formed , which, in addition to Jacques and Bert Palinckx, consisted of the trombonist Joost Buis and the drummer Wim Janssen and was open to influences from rock music. In 1992 the stylistically more open CD Covers was created with the new drummer Michael Vatcher ; Jacques Palinckx received the podium prize from the Stichting Jazz in Nederland . The quartet was subsequently expanded to include singer Marylou Weijmans, turntablist DNA (from Urban Dance Squad ), saxophonist Lol Coxhill and the Mondriaan Quartet. The album The Psychedelic Years was released in 1996 with a different line-up .

From 2001 Palinckx wrote the play Henry: De Driepersoonsman , which the band realized together with the Asko Ensemble and the Drie Ons theater group. The band devoted themselves to various projects until 2006. Jacq Palinckx then fully concentrated on activities with the music theater group Drie Ons . In addition, occasionally played solo performances. He wrote the music for the documentary Higgs, Into the Heart of the Imagination (Hannie van de Bergh and Jan van de Berg, 2009). From 2010 he is visiting professor at the New Dutch Swing program of the ArtEZ Academy for Visual Arts in Arnhem. He also formed a new trio, with brother Bert Palinckx on bass and the classic drummer Arnold Marinissen. He also took part in the group exhibition Contemporary Arcadia at the Luycks Gallery in Tilburg. In 2013 he composed and realized a full-length program about Allen Ginsberg .
