ERIC VLOEIMANS & JOHN TAYLOR
Eric Vloeimans-trumpet, John Taylor-piano
Eric Vloeimans: ‘During the first duo rehearsal for my CD Bitches and Fairytales, I immediately felt like a fish in water with John’s piano playing. ‘It is a rare thing to find someone that plays so incredible interactive and musical. If god could play the piano, he would do it this way.’ John Taylor: ‘Eric leads without dominating, sharing his compositions and ideas with his partners in such a way that allows each one the freedom to contribute their own ideas and inventions to the whole… What wonderfully adventurous trumpetplaying.’ In this exceptional duo with the British master pianist, Vloeimans manifests himself mainly from his lyrical side.
