A record from our national jazz hope Eric Vloeimans. Now, I’m more of a bopper, but I can listen to some smooth jazz for a change.
Vloeimans is most certainly a great trumpet player, whose sound reminds of Belgian Toots Thielemans’s melodious, slightly melancholy tone – at least on this record.
A short biographical note from Challenge Records:
“Eric Vloeimans (1963) studied jazz- and classical trumpet at the Rotterdams Conservatorium and graduated with honours in 1988, leading him to the New School in New York. There he performed with a.o. the Frank Foster and Mercer Ellington bands. Since 1989 Eric has been active in a wide variety of ensembles.
On his CD 's Eric prefers to record original compositions and does not feel restricted to one particular style. His writing is fresh and creative, with feeling and respect for tradition but never pretentious”.
I saw him play live at the North Sea Jazz Festival in July, where he introduced an altogether more spacy, perhaps even ambient sound. Vloeimans experiments a lot.
Perfect music for an Indian Summer evening, I'd say
