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

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.

2011 has been a year marked by revolutionary upheavals internationally and the return of struggle right here in the United States.

For the last ten years, the Center for Economic Research and Social Change has played a vital role in providing a forum for the exchange of political ideas that are necessary to rebuild a fighting left here in the US.

Please join us for our Winter fundraiser.

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.
