Tineke Postma - Aria

Eighth album from the renowned Dutch saxophonist

Tineke Postma, the highly acclaimed bandleader, composer, and saxophonist, presents her eagerly awaited eighth album Aria via Edition Records. Aria reflects Tineke's personal musical journey since the release of her Freya album in February 2020, featuring new compositions, including pieces inspired by the Bimhuis Composition Assignment 2021.

The title Aria represents Tineke's passion for incorporating breath and space in her music, which, she feels, is more important than ever in today's world. It also signifies melody, and is a musical form central to opera, an influence on Tineke and one she holds dear: in particular the expressive and lyrical singing of Maria Callas.

This album is a mix of instant composed ensemble improvisations and composed music by Tineke. Besides lyrical melodies and adventurous rhythms, she focuses on musical elements such as sound, space, textures, ambience and orchestration inspired by the music of Ben Monder, Bill Frisell, Paul Motion, electric music from the 1970s by Miles Davis and the full oeuvre of her hero Wayne Shorter.

Tineke Postma, alto and soprano sax
