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. - by L.D.(...) La pétillante saxophoniste revient en cette fin d’année avec un album à son image : chaleureux, flamboyant et plein de charme. À la fois jazzy, funky et redoutablement sexy (...). Notez enfin que l’artiste donne de la voix sur un titre, le dernier, « Just a little lovin’ », et c’est plutôt très chouette !English(...) The sparkling saxophonist returns this year with an album in his image: warm, charming and flamboyant. At times jazzy, funky and terribly sexy (...). Finally, note that the artist lends her voice to a title, the last one, Just a little lovin ', and it's pretty neat!
