Marjan Van Rompay "On Track"

Marjan is an alto saxophonist with very vocal qualities in her playing style, and the music she writes often feels and sounds like what could be called instrumental singer-songwriting. They are two typical and defining aspects of her musical personality that also indicate that she has always gone her own way in the search for her voice on an instrument that has largely helped determine the sound of the music we call ‘jazz’. Live, her band does function as a jazz band, with an improvised approach to her songs, and a lot of lyrical input from her rhythm section that supports her singing, warm and soulful sound in a communicative way.
