On the spot
Program with Eric Vloeimans, trumpet

In each musician hides a composer. This certainly applies to the musicians of Calefax, as each of the members has proved himself extensively as arranger. Improvisation has always played a major part in music practice, but has been fading away slowly out of classical music. In Right on the Spot Calefax searches for a fusion between composition and improvisation, working with compositions and guided improvisations by experienced improvisers from different disciplines, and with the help of jazz trumpet player Eric Vloeimans (Gatecrash, Fugimundi). Vloeimans, in turn, in this programme plays early 17th century baroque music in which improvisation indeed formed an essential part of the composition.
