Eric Vloeimans takes on Licks & Brains
18-piece band moving between jazz, afrofunk & soul
Eric Vloeimans returns to the PHIL with Licks & Brains. His compositions are performed on a grand, funky and swinging scale by the eighteen-piece big band.
"The distinctive approach, energy and sound of Licks & Brains creates a completely new atmosphere around my music," says Vloeimans.
The impressive repertoire of Licks & Brains also comes to life again. The eighteen-piece band brings a mix of brass instruments, electronic grooves and Vloeimans' playing.
The result: a musical journey that moves between jazz, afrofunk, minimal music, soul, funk and dance. "With Vloeimans' pieces we explore new musical paths that other big bands typically don't venture into." It's no wonder that the members of Licks & Brains are enthusiastic about this renewed collaboration.
