This is a suprising release. Vloeimans' trumpet playing is certainly Miles Davis influenced, and one cut does remind one of Sketches of Spain. I wasn't sure I'd care for much of it, but took a chance--and I'm glad I did. Sampling 30 second chunks doesn't do it justice. This music is hard to catagorize, but the performances seem heart-felt and carried me to some interestin places. As expected, the recording is wonderful. Don't think about, just listen....

Thank you Iain, but these are not combinations of Jazz and Baroque, however most interesting. I meant are there other pieces of Jazz musicians who combine their music with Baroque ensembles?

We attended the live concert in Rotterdam lately, and found it was breathtakingly beautiful, with a intelligent mix of classical and jazzy impressions. The disc was recorded very well, very close to the actual live performance. I must admit though that it helps a lot if one knows one of the artists, Esther van der Eijk ( By the way, a uttermost charming woman ). A few months ago she spent a night at our home, because she played a fill in with Euterpe Baroque Consort the next day.

Haha, and Eric Vloeimans is a lot more sympathetic as it might show on this excerpt ;-)
And more: this appeared on their website: We are proud to announce that Holland Baroque Society has been invited to play the first King’s Day Concert on 8 April! The concert, in the presence of our King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maximá, will feature Dutch jazz trumpet star Eric Vloeimans and harpist Gwyneth Wentink. We will play highlights of our CD Old, New & Blue. The concert will be broadcast on national television on 26 April at 10.30 PM on Nederland 2.

Sounds wonderful!! I am envious of you. ;-) I would love to attend the live concert of this, but I am glad to hear the SACD's sound is the next best thing.
This SACD has been tantalizing me for quite a while. It might be time to do something about that.
