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. - Thanks Dan Dodds of Soul Jones for inviting me for this interview in Manifesto Soul Magazine! I made one mistake: In the question what's your rarest record in my collection? I mentioned an album which is so rare that I made a mistake: It's Skatologicals (with a k). Of course. They play ska. Here's their Discogs link.
