ERIC VLOEIMANS’ GATECRASH

Eric Vloeimans expands his bright and powerful trumpet playing with an abundance of electronic effects in his band Gatecrash. The successful albums Gatecrashin’, Hyper and Heavensabove are full of hypnotizing jazz funk, with Jeroen van Vliet excelling on Fender Rhodes. ‘Vloeimans plays crisp and self-assured, embodying the articulate melodicism of Clifford Brown plus many shades of Miles, without being imitative’ (JazzTimes).
