I’m impressed by her ability to truly sing through her horn.’ When a great saxophonist like Chris Potter says this about you then you’re in touch with the essence of jazz. Since she graduated Cum Laude from the Amsterdam Music Conservatory in 2003, things developed rapidly with Tineke Postma. She received a number of awards and did great studio performances with heavy weights like Terri Lyne Carrington and James Genus. ‘Dutch saxophonist Tineke Postma provides the kind of tension and release that makes modern jazz swing… a powerful new voice on the maistream jazz scene.’ (All About Jazz).
