Eric Vloiemans & Will Holshouser: Back On The Road Again

by Jack Bowers
June 22, 2026

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 ...

Eric Vloeimans, Will Holshouser: Two for the Road

by Vic Albani
April 10, 2024

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 ...

Eric Vloeimans & Will Holshouser: Two For The Road-

by Pierre Giroux
October 20, 2022

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 ...

Musette Explosion!

by Ludovico Granvassu
April 21, 2019

Musette Explosion is a trio featuring Will Holshouser (accordion), Matt Munisteri (guitar) and Marcus Rojas (tuba) which gives a very New York twist to a quintessentially Parisian art-form like Musette music. Together they bring this genre to new places through virtuosic improvisation and original pieces, sonic surprises and adventurous playing, shot through with a sense of fun and an emotional depth. Happy listening! Will Holshouser, Matt Munisteri “Mysterieuse" Musette Explosions (Self-produced) 00:00:00 Musette Explosion ...

Musette Explosion: Introducing Musette Explosion

by Angelo Leonardi
February 10, 2015

Will Holshouser, Matt Munisteri e Marcus Rojas scrivono una nuova pagina nella lunga relazione che lega il jazz alla musette e, innanzi tutto, hanno il merito di non riproporre le varie tipologie dello stile manouche (a partire dalla matrice storica di Django Reinhardt e Stéphane Grappelli) scegliendo semmai di seguire un percorso analogo a quello di New Musette, l'incisione del 1991 di Richard Galliano, in quartetto con Philippe Catherine, Pierre Michelot e Aldo Romano. L'assetto strumentale del ...

Will Holshouser Trio with Bernardo Sassetti: Palace Ghosts and Drunken Hymns

by Mark Corroto
April 8, 2010

Inspired by the sights, sounds, and people of Lisbon, Portugal, American accordionist Will Holshouser collaborates with Portuguese pianist Bernardo Sassetti on a recording that is equal parts jazz (European and American), folk (again European and American--both North and South American), and chamber music. While it may take an ethnomusicologist to sort out all the roots and influences, it can easily be described as “grinning Portuguese music."

Holshouser's trio consists of two fine musicians that are unheralded, trumpeter Ron Horton (Andrew ...

Will Holshouser: Singing To A Bee

by Budd Kopman
October 23, 2006

The first thing one notices about Singing To A Bee is the intricate packaging of folded cardboard with a magnetic catch (!) to hold the assembly together. Having never seen anything quite like this before (the winner in packaging originality thus far was Gebhard Ullmann's 1993 recording Ta Lam, released by 99 Records), I was more than a little intrigued as to what music was lurking inside. Singing To A Bee is a live recording of a ...
