Heaven 05-2011

Nederlands Jazz ArchiefEnglish:Saxophonist Susanne Alt hails from Germany but has long been a part of our jazz scene. Royalty For Real has the aura of a prestigious product. It is also a tribute to the late trumpeter Roy Hargrove. Hargrove was fond of participating in the after-hours sessions at North Sea Jazz; Alt occasionally played alongside him there – hence Bel Air Bop, one of the seven tracks. The saxophonist/flutist wrote five of the tracks herself, in addition to The Nearness of You and Roy Allan by Hargrove. The album was recorded in February 2022 in New York with pianist James Hurt, bassist Gerald Cannon, and drummer Willie Jones III. - Haar vierde album vaart een koers die het midden houdt 'tussen post-bop en fusion en heel aantrekkelijk is voor zijn of haar jazz niet al te moeilijk wil maar ook een broertje dood heeft aan het soort muzak dat vaak voor fusion door moet gaan'. Rake woorden van uw Heaven-recensent die ik hier maar al te graag aanhaal.EnglishHer fourth album sail a course that is somewhere between post-bop and fusion, and very appealing to the one who wants his or her jazz to be not too difficult but also hates the kind of Muzak which is supposed to be fusion. Heavy words of your Heaven-critic that I would like to point out.
