Odei Al-Magut plays trombone on several tracks and has a solo on “The harder we fight (the sweeter the love). I met him at Daan Herweg’s jam session (at NeL), I think he just turned 19, and as I found out, is a top talent from Rostov-on Don, Russia, born in 1994. He is a versatile musician and plays a lot. Touring with the Dutch National Youth Jazz Orchestra, a Europe Tour with The Temptations/Four Tops, having his own Quintet where he even includes Tibetan bowls and sea shells which add a contemplative sphere to the repertoire… Right now he’s studying in New York City at Manhattan School Of Music and I am sure we will hear a lot about him in the future.

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! - Odei Al-Magut plays trombone on several tracks and has a solo on “The harder we fight (the sweeter the love).I met him at Daan Herweg’s jam session (at NeL), I think he just turned 19, and as I found out, is a top talent from Rostov-on Don, Russia, born in 1994.
