Media outlets from all over the world sent reporters to document the action.

My first republican presidential campaign rally went pretty much as anticipated. 6000 excited people can make a lot of noise. I left early to beat the exodus.

Eric Vloeimans Trio: Fugimundi

Dutch jazz sensation Eric Vloeimans (trumpet) and his trio gave an amazing performance at the Byron Carlyle theater on North Beach Friday night. Definitely worth checking out.

anton, getting down.

"Regarded as one of Europe's best performers, chill and playful, 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. With technique to spare, this disciplined acoustic trio includes Vloeimans, Anton Gooudsmit (guitar) and Harmen Fraanje (piano)."
