Eric Vloeimans: trumpet | Harmen Fraanje: Piano |
Anton Goudsmit: guitar
(….) I’d had this recording for a few days now, and had been listening to it so often that I lost my grip on it. On the one hand the music was exuberant, on the other introspective, but playful. To my ears it wasn’t jazz, though surely experts would call it that. I am not so fond of experts. They are what they are because they say that’s what they are. That’s too simple. I could do the same. But I don’t.
(…) It could be, I realize, that Vloeimans’ music had made me jump in time; I skipped six or seven weeks thanks to him. However I still had no idea what to write about this music. Enchanting for sure. Melancholic as well. Happy, obviously.
(…) What’s in a name? Vloeimans, Flowmans.
Just say that name a time or ten, roll it around in your mouth, let it bounce against your teeth and you’ll understand this elusive music; fluid, flowing, fluide as the French say, liquid.
Few things are as difficult as creating something that seems completely effortless, fluid, flowing, or at least that’s the way it sounds.
The music of Eric Vloeimans (and his companions also have names that resonate; Goudsmit, Goldsmith; Fraanje, Fringey) flows like water, flows like a dance, flows like a traffic artery and flows like life itself. It’s music you cannot grasp, it keeps slipping through your fingers.
Flowmans/Vloeimans; a man that flows through his magical instrument - the trumpet. Every artist, whatever his stature, seeks himself. Yet only few succeed. Most fail because they are afraid to be themselves. This is what makes Eric Vloeimans so fascinating; he flows himself,
the artist he truly is.

ERIC VLOIEMANS' FUGIMUNDI
Live at Yoshi's Challenge *****
The sheer authority of trumpeter Eric Vloiemans's exceptional trio with Harmen Franje (piano) and Anton Goudsmit (guitar) is one of its defining characteristics. Classical elements, including baroque, hints of Mediterranean folk and even a Stephen Foster-ish funk are filtered through a jazz sensibility and blended with a deceptive lack of strain. In a trio whose collective identity is more than the sum of its talented parts, there's a shared sense of adventure and discovery, and a feel for when a performance has run its natural course and is complete. And they do it equally persuasively whether exploring the differing contemplative shades of the evocative originals Corleone, Ernesto, Philip, Fatima and the sole standard, Over the Rainbow , or the fun of Antwan and Harry, and the risk-taking of March of the Carpenter Ants . This is a trio quite unlike any other. www.challenge records.com

' L'improvvisazione certamente è un elemento fondamentale ma il linguaggio che caratterizza il trio non è solo quello jazzistico.' - evolutionsmusic.it.
' Improvisatie is zeker een belangrijk element, maar de taal die kenmerkend is voor het trio is niet alleen de jazz.'
' The music generally is very enjoyable, and displays an inner spirit not needing a drummer, while Fraanje and Goudsmit are accompanists who not only understand their roles, but take great liberties in asserting their ideas within a mezzo piano dynamic.' - Michael G. Bastos.
' De muziek in het algemeen is zeer aangenaam, en vertoont een binnenverpakkingen geest niet zou hoeven een drummer, terwijl fraanje en goudsmit zijn accompanists die niet alleen begrijpen hun rollen, maar nemen veel vrijheden in waarbij zij beweren hun ideeën binnen een Mezzo piano dynamisch.
De muziek over het algemeen is zeer plezierig, en toont een binnengeest vereisend geen drummer, terwijl Fraanje en Goudsmit accompanists zijn die niet alleen hun rollen begrijpen, maar grote vrijheden in het beweren van hun ideeën binnen een dynamische mezzopiano nemen.
'He is a versatile performer who investigates musical influences from around the globe, and parlays his findings into improvisations that he shares with audiences.' - Susan Frances.
'Hij is een veelzijdige artiest die muzikale invloeden uit de hele wereld onderzoekt, hij deelt deze bevindingen en improvisaties, met het publiek.' - Susan Frances.
'tend to be based on fairly defined exploration of themes' - Bob Karlovits
' Vloeimans does not restrict himself to playing one style of music but rather fuses jazz improvisation.' - Susan Frances.

But when you listen to the music of Dutch jazz trumpeter Eric Vloeimans, you not only hear traces of the aforementioned artists, but several classical European artists, too. Micheal Swanger - Cityview - maart 2010
Als je luistert naar de muziek van de Nederlandse jazz trompettist Eric Vloeimans, hoort u niet alleen sporen van de bovengenoemde artiesten, maar ook verschillende klassieke Europese kunstenaars. Michael Swanger - Cityview - maart 2010

Vloeimans, an award-winning trumpeter. Desmoinerregister - feb 2010.
Eric Vloeimans is een award winnende trompetspeller. Desmoinerregister - feb 2010.
Vloeiman's horn is big, warm and soft-edged -- the very sound of breath and yearning. Peter Hum - Ottawa Citizen - maart 2010
Eric Vloeiman's geluid is groots, warm en heeft zachte randen - het geluid van adem en verlangen. Peter Hum - Ottawa Citizen - maart 2010
The Fugimundi Trio is almost unique in its lineup of trumpet, electric guitar, and piano. Vloeimans's idea was to create a new kind of contemporary chamber ensemble. Alexander Varty - Straight - maart 2010
Het Trio Fugimundi is bijna uniek in zijn line-up van trompet, elektrische gitaar, en piano. Vloeimans idee was om een nieuw soort van hedendaagse kamermuziek. Alexander Varty - Straight - maart 2010
The music ranged from soft and elegant to loud and boisterous; no shortage of European classicism combining with unmistakable tinges of blues and gospel. Unhindered by a rhythm section to create a defined pulse, Fugimundi swung hard at times, played with folkloric simplicity at others, and took advantage of their contextual freedom at every moment throughout a set that grabbed the audience from the first notes, and kept it on the edge of its seat until the very end, following a well-deserved encore. John R. Fouler - All about Jazz - maart 2010
De muziek varieerde van zacht en elegant tot luid en onstuimig. Er was geen tekort aan Europese classicisme gecombineerd met een onmiskenbare weerkaatsing van blues en gospel. Ongehinderd door een ritmesectie om een gedefinieerde puls te creëren, swingde Fugimundi de pan uit soms, en speelde met folkloristische eenvoud op andere momenten. Fugimundi maakte gebruik van hun contextuele vrijheid op elk moment van de set, wat het publiek vanaf de eerste noten greep en hield iedereen op het puntje van hun stoel tot helemaal het einde, na een welverdiende toegift.
"Antons gezicht wrong zich in de bochten van de muziek, hij meanderde met Estafest door spannende composities, met Fugimundi lieten hij en trompettist Eric Vloeimans het publiek alle hoeken van het Bimhuis zien, en met The Ploctones, de groep waarmee hij een VPRO tour door Nederland gaat maken, liet hij horen hoe terecht hem de prijs was toegekend." Tom Beetz - Jazzism juni 2010
"Antons face wreched in the curves of the music, he meandered with Estafest through the exciting compositions, with Fugimundi him and trumpet player Eric Vloeimans showed the public every corner of the Bimhuis. And with the Ploctones, the band that he will do a VPRO tour through the Netherlands, Goudsmit showed how rightly he diserved this award." Tom Beetz - Jazzism june 2010
