Eric Vloeimans, Anton Goudsmit and Harmen Fraanje: Fugimundi
Eric Vloeimans trumpet, Harmen Fraanje piano, Anton Goudsmit guitar.
After more than ten years Fugimundi is back. For years, the trio of trumpeter Eric Vloeimans, guitarist Anton Goudsmit and pianist Harmen Fraanje made name in various venues and festivals with their great performances. Their music can be described as a cross between exuberant jazz and intimate chamber music, with smashing improvisations and surprising twists and turns.
Founder of the trio, Eric Vloeimans, is one of the best-known trumpet players of the Netherlands. His work is characterized by a melodical and lyrical strength, and a characteristic sound, which has been described as velvety and whispery in the more subdued pieces. Guitarist Anton Goudsmit made name with New Cool Collective and The Ploctones. Pianist Harmen Fraanje is known for his collaborations with, among others, Ernst Reijseger and Arve Henriksen.
