Here is an instrumental duo straight out of Alice's wonderland: trumpet and accordion. You heard right. Back on the Road Again features only two artists: Dutch trumpeter Eric Vloiemans and American accordionist Will Holshouser. The two formed a bond in 2018 and have been performing together for the most part ever since. Back on the Road Again is their third recording as a duo. It is an extraordinary alliance by any measure, and if Vloiemans and Holshouser were ...

Registrato dal vivo nel corso di un tour di concerti in Olanda nel 2021, Two for the Road è il secondo album del duo formato da Eric Vloeimans e Will Holshouser capace di mostrare forse più che nel primo lavoro, Eric & Will, la capacità di scrittura espressiva, improvvisazione virtuosa e la vasta territorialità di influenze dei due protagonisti. Suite jazz-folk introspettive per una figurazione strumentistica rara e difficile come quella fra tromba e fisarmonica, decisamente più in ...

The trumpet and the accordion may seem like an incompatible musical combination, and perhaps that may be so, except in the hands of Dutch trumpeter Eric Vloeimans and American accordionist Will Holshouser. Their dynamic and demonstrative interaction is on full display in this live concert recorded during a tour of the Netherlands in 2021 and is appropriately entitled Two For The Road. In this twelve track concert, nine of the compositions come from the pen of ...

Dutch trumpeter Eric Vloeimans isn't afraid to try different things. In fact, he seems to relish the opportunity to work in a variety of settings. Vloeimans tangled with pianist John Taylor, bassist Marc Johnson, and drummer Joey Baron on Bitches and Fairy Tales (Challenge Records, 1999); he went the electric route with a quartet known as Gatecrash; he recorded with The Netherlands Symphony Orchestra on Evensong (Challenge Classics, 2013); and he pared things down, conversing openly with pianist Florian Weber ...

Eric Vloeimans / Florian Weber: Live at The Concertgebouw

In a career spanning the intimate chamber jazz of Fugimundi to the electrified Gatecrash, Eric Vloeimans has emerged as a trumpeter with uncommon instincts, relentless lyricism and an astute ear for musical partnerships. It's been three years since his last recording as a leader--Heavens Above (Challenge, 2009)--but in the interim there's been an expansive five-CD career retrospective, V-Flow (Challenge, 2010), that shouldn't be mistaken as any suggestion that he's done all there is. If anything, V-Flow consolidates and contextualizes Vloeimans' ...
