Tigertail presents Oliver's Cinema, featuring Eric Vloeimans at Miami Dade County Auditorium

Versatile, mobile, colorful and charming, this "chamber jazz" trio's unusual, brilliant instrumentation is definitely a must-hear.
Regarded as one of Europe’s finest performers, Dutchman Eric Vloeimans’ trumpet playing captures the full range of the instrument, from brassy high notes to a reedy lower register, while his original compositions create an evocative, harmonic language of their own. Vloeimans initially studied classical music at the Rotterdam Academy of Music. He continued his studies in New York, studying with Donald Byrd on the trumpet gaining experience playing in the big bands of Frank Foster and Mercer Ellington. Blessed with uncommon instincts, Vloeimans possesses an astute ear for musical partnerships, leading him to this collaborative trio....

Accordionist Tuur Florizoone explores the instrument's full expressive range. He is equally at home in the pop, jazz, folk and world music. He has traveled around Brazil, been out on the road with a circus and has played in a great variety of different styles. Yet he considers himself a jazz musician. In 2008, he received the World Soundtrack Award for his score for the Flemish film Moscow, Belgium. He brings charisma and a gift for getting to the heart of the music to the trio.
Classically trained cellist Jörg Brinkmann adds a third timbre to the trio. Brinkmann is equally capable of making essential contributions to pop bands, theatre orchestras or chamber music ensembles. In his playing and his compositions, a perfect fusion takes place of structure and personal variations, of cleanly bowed lyricism and lively rhythms.
