Alt Tal is a passionate and hard-hitting
Jazz Trio in the San Francisco Bay Area

Who play live twice a month at Oakland's nouveau-venerable Cafe Van Kleef and will be touring Paris in July 2009.

We've enjoyed the many opportunities we've had to perform for audiences around the Bay Area.

Here are some of the venues and parties at which we've had the pleasure of performing.

We've played as part of the North Beach Jazz Festival,

Art in the Alley,

The 50th Anniversary of the publishing of Jack Kerouac's On The Road, and

Parties for Vesiuvio's regulars.

Phrasing in lyric with its odd breaths and resolve, Alt Tal renders it sassily. Experience Alt Tal headlining at Club Ego, on Friday, 16 January 2004.

Bringing out the Soprano for Elaine and l'Amoureuse de mon Père, Alt Tal gets shockingly candid, then gives you a fistful of black eye with Mossad and the ever-downtown The Nymph.

"I need to belive
You trust
My feelings are true."
-- from News from Milan by David Alt

When it comes down to it, everyone likes the best moments of a Jazz ballad. In this spirit, Alt Tal gives you the untrite Frivolity, or Just a Cup of Coffee.

"The poison raku glaze browns
My once-fragrant fire-escape vine."
-- from Jasmine by David Alt

Don't miss Alt Tal or you will miss the locus of gravitational deviance.
