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. - Above is the extract about Saxify. Here's the link to the original artiicle about new jazz releases of female musicians: Spiegel Online Kultur.Spiegel Online is one of the most widely read German-language news Websites and it is the web-version of famous Der Spiegel.English:The music of saxophone player Susanne Alt is clearly funk. She has been collecting practical experiences in Peter Herbolzheimer's Bundesjugendjazzorchester; and after her studies at the UdK (University Of The Arts, Berlin) she settled down in Amsterdam. For her album Saxify the 38-year old put an explosively playing band together, including Dutch&American musicians, featuring Fred Wesley, the grand master of funky trombone playing.
