<p><b>Jan Akkerman</b> (* <a href="24._Dezember" title="24. Dezember">24. Dezember</a> <a href="1946" title="1946">1946</a> in <a href="Amsterdam" title="Amsterdam">Amsterdam</a>) ist ein <a href="Niederlande" title="Niederlande">niederländischer</a> <a href="Rockmusik" title="Rockmusik">Rock</a>- und <a href="Jazzgitarre" title="Jazzgitarre">Jazz-Gitarrist</a>.
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Leben">Leben</h2></div>
<p>In den 1960er Jahren spielte er in mehreren Formationen (darunter <a href="Brainbox" title="Brainbox">Brainbox</a>), bevor er sich 1970 der Gruppe <a href="Focus_(Band)" title="Focus (Band)">Focus</a> anschloss. Gemeinsam mit dem <a href="Keyboard" title="Keyboard">Keyboarder</a> und <a href="Querfl%C3%B6te" title="Querflöte">Querflötenspieler</a> <a href="Thijs_van_Leer" title="Thijs van Leer">Thijs van Leer</a> und wechselnden <a href="E-Bass" title="E-Bass">Bassisten</a> und <a href="Schlagzeug" title="Schlagzeug">Schlagzeugern</a> nahm er in der ersten Hälfte der 1970er Jahre mehrere erfolgreiche Alben auf. 1971 gelangte die Single <i>Hocus Pocus</i> bis auf den 20. Platz der britischen und bis auf den 9. Platz der US-amerikanischen Charts. Zum Jahreswechsel 1972/73 erreichte die Single <i>Sylvia</i> den vierten Platz der britischen Charts.
</p><p>Der <a href="Niederlande" title="Niederlande">niederländische</a> Rock- und <a href="Blues" title="Blues">Blues</a>-Sänger <a href="Herman_Brood" title="Herman Brood">Herman Brood</a> spielte für kurze Zeit (1975) mit Akkerman in der Flash & Dance Band.
</p><p>Anfang 1976 verließ er Focus und begann eine Solokarriere. Auf seinen zahlreichen LPs bzw. CDs wandte er sich verschiedenen Musikrichtungen zu (u. a. altenglische <a href="Laute" title="Laute">Lautenmusik</a>, lateinamerikanische Stücke für akustische Gitarre oder verschiedene Spielarten des Jazz) und arbeitete mit zahlreichen Musikern zusammen (darunter <a href="Kaz_Lux" title="Kaz Lux">Kaz Lux</a>, <a href="Claus_Ogerman" title="Claus Ogerman">Claus Ogerman</a>, Tom Barlage, <a href="Joachim_K%C3%BChn" title="Joachim Kühn">Joachim Kühn</a> oder <a href="Maggie_MacNeal" title="Maggie MacNeal">Maggie MacNeal</a>, zu deren Solo-LP <i>Fools Together</i> er ein Arrangement des <a href="Cream" title="Cream">Cream</a>-Titels <i>White Room</i> beisteuerte). 1985 nahm Akkerman mit Thijs van Leer noch einmal ein Album mit dem Titel <i>Focus</i> auf. Dieses hatte jedoch ebenso wenig kommerziellen Erfolg wie seine späteren Solo-Projekte. Mehrere Jahre arbeitete er auch mit den <i>Five Great Guitars</i> (u. a. mit <a href="Jan_Kuiper" title="Jan Kuiper">Jan Kuiper</a>, <a href="Harry_Sacksioni" title="Harry Sacksioni">Harry Sacksioni</a> und <a href="Eric_Vaarzon_Morel" title="Eric Vaarzon Morel">Eric Vaarzon Morel</a>) zusammen.
