The most swinging jazz drummer in the Netherlands shared the stage with many jazz greats such as Nina Simone, Pia Beck, Louis van Dijk, The Diamond Five, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Johnny Griffin, Toots Thielemans, Ray Brown and Hank Jones.
John toured Japan with trumpeter Chet Baker. Two albums were released, as well as the DVD Live in Tokyo. Engels plays on more than 50 records, won 6 Edisons, a Bird Award, the Boy Edgar Prize and last September John Engels received the Frans Banninck Cock Penning in Amsterdam.

He made 19 albums as a band leader and his 16th CD 'In The Spirit of Rashied Ali' was nominated for an Edison. With the band of Rashied Ali (John Coltrane's last drummer) he toured for 9 years mainly in America and Europe.
