Reviews      

Read about critical acclaim for Alt Tal.

Alt Tal's Open The Gates! is the sound of a fierce jazz trio who are in control of their sonic destiny.

The musicianship is very elaborate, as they play direct and to the point, occasionally drifting into a bit of freedom before falling back into the theme of the song, and I could easily see then moving crowds into a frenzy with their playing.
