The Bob Shots

The Bob Shots were a Belgian modern jazz band. They started playing swing, and around 1946 they moved to bop. They were probably the first bop band in Europe. Down Beat magazine recommended them in 1947. They recorded in Brussels in 1947, and in Paris in 1949. The Bob Shots served as a training ground for many Belgian jazz musicians.

At various times, The Bob Shots included Bobby Jaspar, Fats Sadi, Jacques Pelzer, Toots Thielemans, Francy Boland and Jean Warland.
