Eric Vloeimans & Juan Pablo Dobal - Viento Zonda

'Vienta Zonda' is the new duo project by jazz trumpeter Eric Vloeimans and pianist Juan Pablo Dobal.

Eric Vloeimans is an award-winning jazz trumpeter, songwriter, and record producer and has been active in a wide variety of ensembles throughout his long career. He has toured the US twice with his acoustic 'chamber/jazz' 'Fugimundi' trio, featuring the surprising Anton Goudsmit on guitar and rising star Harmen Fraanje on piano. Their broad repertoire ranges from contemporary jazz, hymns, world music to occasional standards, all of which is presented with warmth and wit. His other band is Eric Vloeimans' Gatecrash, which features soundscape master Jeroen van Vliet on Fender Rhodes and keyboards, the inventive Gulli Gudmundsson on bass, electric basses and effects, and the up and coming Jasper van Hulten on drums.

Eric has also ventured into film music, writing (with Fons Merkies) and performing the music for the feature film Majesteit (premiered in September 2010), as well as for the animation film Audition (with Martin Fondse). He has been honored because of his many works, in all possible genres that cover the range from classical to pop, film music, world and jazz. In between playing all over the world, being on tour and picking up Edison Awards, he shares his talent with the students of the Codarts College for the Arts in Rotterdam, and the Royal Conservatory in the Hague.
