In the 1960s he took up a promotional record with Philips Philicorda, an electronic organ. Rob Hoeke's formations were characterized by multiple changes in occupation.

Unfortunately, in 1974, after attempting a small repair to his car, he had to miss two fingers. Besides, Rob Hoeke had a lot of interest in technique outside the music. He had a degree in automotive engineering at the IVA Driebergen, and he also obtained his flight letter.

Rob Hoeke (January 9, 1939 - November 6, 1999) was a Dutch boogie woogie pianist. Hoeke garnered great popularity in the second half of the sixties, in the midst of the blues boom in the Netherlands. Two tracks by his band hit the charts right away: "Drinkin on my bed" (1966, No.11) and "Margio" (1966). The last hit from Hoeke was "Down South Pt.1" (1970).

Due to the fact that the name Hoeke was no longer suitable for the times, he instead chose to stick with boogie and blues, but his popularity still plunged considerably during the first half of the '70s. Hoeke subsequently got into a serious car accident, which hurt one of his hands badly. He could no longer play piano the way he used to be able to before. This was when he traded his music career for that of a sports journalist.

You know those minutes before the sun sets and the mellon moon rises, those minutes that you wish would go on forever, because they just feel so good? Well, allow me to suggest 25 Years of Rhythm & Blues and Boogie Woogie to fill that gap, a compilation laid down by Rob Hoeke, who’s taken on the unbelievable task of merging R&B with a Boogie Woogie backbeat, producing a sound that is nothing less then sensational at stopping time, and planting you feet firmly where they need to be; though considering the floorboard splintering nature of these most bluesy danceable tunes, your feet won’t remain planted for long.

Most people don’t know much about Rob, a Dutch musical master who began his career back in 1957, achieving modest, yet unparalleled success in the 1960’s, as there was no one who was doing what Rob Hoeke was doing. This compilation draws deeply from Rob’s career, mixing original numbers with covers you might not expect, yet will slap a mile wide smile across your face with their simple yet profound elegance ... music sure to satisfy any blues lover, and those who straddle the jazz-blues fence, looking for something wholly unique and mind bendingly satisfying. Give it a try ... and when you do, remember that scene in the diner where Johnny Depp is dancing the rolls with two forks in the movie Benny and Joon. You are gonna love this. ~Jenell Kesler
