I met DJ Spinna a few years ago during Amsterdam Dance Event and later approached him for a remix. Last year DJ Spinna made a great remix for me and finally yesterday we got a chance to meet again. I met him at Disco Dolly, Amsterdam where he was booked to play a set, that's where this picture was taken. And then the magic happened: The first tune he playe was "our" tune, Tudo Bem!!! I was melting.. and the crowd loved it! Watch a little fragment of the live action on Facebook or Instagram. Listen tot the whole remix:
DJ Spinna's 'Tudo Bem' remix is the second out of a series of remixes of Susanne Alt's latest album 'Saxify'. It features Lex Empress (vocals), Susanne Alt (flute), Fred Wesley (trombone), Jerôme Hol and Patrick Pelissier (keys). Horns: Gary Winters (trumpet), Fred Wesley (trombone), Susanne Alt (saxes).

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! - I met DJ Spinna a few years ago during Amsterdam Dance Event and later approached him for a remix.
