“One of the freshest takes on electronic jazz in some time.” Jazziz’ (USA)

Trumpeter/composer Eric Vloeimans rise into the elite of Euro jazz hierarchy is no accident. A brilliant technique is deployed in the service of music and more than one critic has pointed to the sheer beauty of Vloeimans’ playing from the rich tone to the sumptuous lines and witty comments on the jazz tradition. “This poet of the trumpet is not a slave to tradition” said one writer while others point to his expressive power and the good-natured humour and flair of his playing.

One of the most influential trumpet players of his generation, he himself was inspired by none other than Miles Davis himself, Gatecrash delivers a mix of electronic jazz with elements of funk, pop, world music with a raw energy that excites but then contrasts it with contemplative pieces that take the listeners into a different state of mind.

This is creative, improvised music that is accessible and engaging.

“(Gatecrash) played with a high-wire sense of adventure and an infectious spirit of joy….” Jazz Times (USA)
