Gig pics: Venus Tunes Live XL at Leusden Jazz 2019

This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel. More info:Susanne Alt: sax, Matthijs Geerts and Ike van Bergen: keys, Thomas Pol: bass, Yoràn Vroom: drums, Helene Jank: percussion Performed at 16th of January 2026 at Bimhuis, Amsterdam, Recorded by Onno Prillwitz Filmed by Robert Glass and Albert Nooij. - Thank you Leusden Jazz for inviting us back again, after the success of last year. left: Femke Krone, right: Susanne AltWe had to change the line up a bit because Mavis had another gig and also I was asked to play a longer set so except for Femke Krone (percussion/dj) we changed it up a bit.I invited Jina Sumedi (keys/accordion), SaraLee Vos (vocals) and Rebekka Ling (vocals). left: Jina Sumedi, right:Rebekka Ling Saralee Vos Both vocalists have collaborated on my label Venus Tunes in the past and the present so still a big amount of tunes written by ourselves was guaranteed... We also filmed it again in order to collect different footage from all the Venus Tunes Live gigs. It will take a while but I am planning to edit a little aftermovie, probably it will be online before the end of the year.. Thank you Peter Putters of De Nozem Fotografie Amersfoort for taking these very beautiful pictures!Backstage with the ladies :-) (Photo by Femke Krone)We are looking forward to our next gig in Germany!
