Official release of Susie Saxophone (Opolopo Remix) today!
My Christmas gift for you. I hope you like it :-)
Opolopo's "Susie Saxophone" remix is the 9th out of a series of remixes of Susanne Alt's latest album "Saxify". Opolopo found it a 'wicked album' and decided to do 2 remixes.. the first one was "Elixir".
"Opolopo" is Yoruban for "plenty", a word that best exemplifies the diversity of this musician, dj, remixer, composer and production wizard’s voyage! Whether it's funk, house, or future soul, his compositions and productions are always uncompromising with a steady gaze on the horizon and a quick glance in the rear-view mirror.
In march this year Amsterdam based saxophonist/producer Susanne Alt released her latest album 'Saxify'. It features 36 of her favourite funk musicians she met throughout the years. Amongst them are legendary musicians like Fred Wesley, Rodney "Skeet" Curtis, Michael Hampton, Jamal Thomas.
So the first time we played the music from Royalty For Real wasn't in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, but in Bengaluru and Mumbai, all the way in India in 2023!Here you'll see me play Au Privave, Classy Cats and Royalty For Real, together with Timothy Banchet (piano), Marius Beets (bass) and Sven Rozier (drums).Au Privave is a well-known blues by Charlie Parker which I often like to start with, almost like a soundcheck tune. Although most of the time a soundcheck is done I found out it's a good idea to play a tune everybody of the band knows very well so we all can get used to the sound of the stage, the presence of the audience and it also gives the sound engineer the chance to adjust microphones last minute. During the soundcheck, the sound of the room is significantly different because of the lack of audience. All that flesh and clothes work a little bit like a totally empty room versus a room with furniture and carpets, if you know what I mean :-)Acoustics are so interesting and full of surprises.. Anyways.. hope you like it! - My Christmas gift for you. I hope you like it :-)Opolopo's Susie Saxophone remix is the 9th out of a series of remixes of Susanne Alt's latest album Saxify.
