Sam Vloemans - Otrabanda
Review by Paul Bellchambers
Otrabanda, the latest album by Sam Vloemans, is an eclectic and vibrant collection of jazz tracks that showcase the Belgian trumpeter's impressive range and versatility. With a mix of original compositions and covers, the album takes the listener on a journey through various styles and moods, from upbeat swing to sultry ballads.
Vloemans' trumpet playing is the standout feature of the album, with his rich, warm tone and impeccable technique shining through on every track. His improvisations are both tasteful and adventurous, showing his deep understanding of the jazz tradition while also pushing the boundaries of the genre.
The album is also notable for the strong contributions of Vloemans' bandmates, who bring their own unique voices to the music. Drummer Toni Vitacolonna provides a solid foundation for the group, while bassist Tim Finoulst and pianist Bram Weijters add depth and texture to the arrangements.
