Hello,

Lost month I played kind of every day at least one concert.
That's the reason why there wasn't a lot of activity at this website. But here some news about what happened and what will happen soon..

The Reijseger/Fraanje/Sylla toured in Holland; I enjoyed it a lot, nice compositions, lot of space and a good vibe. Ernst is really strong and Mola touched me deeply. He is a master in waiting for the right moment, but when this very moment comes, he's incredible..wow!
It was our first tour, but we're planning a new one, there are more concrete plans for a cd and other recordings, more information about that soon.
Here's a review of our concert in the Bimhuis, Amsterdam.

The Eric Vloeimans Fugimundi trio (Eric Vloeimans, Anton Goudsmit, Harmen Fraanje) presented their 3rd cd, recorded in the famous jazzclub Yoshi's in Oakland, USA.
We presented the cd in Paradox, Tilburg, still my 'home club'; always very relaxed to play there. I enjoyed the concert very much.

Martin Bril wrote the liner notes of our cd.

Next week I'll record my new cd, looking forward!
I'm very happy to record with Clemens van der Feen and Flin van Hemmen.
Michael Moore will join us one day in the studio (in Osnabrück)
