Myriam Alter "If" full album

Holiday Playlist...

When read as prose, the song titles on If
become a poetic tribute to composer Myriam Alter's idealized concept of
“Home.” Ten new compositions make up If and are in part inspired by Ms.
Alter’s Judeo-Spanish heritage. The arrangements further expand upon her
musical lineage by additionally acknowledging modern jazz and classical
while prominently featuring Jewish music’s long time relationship with
the Argentinean tango. The result is a coherent personal musical
statement whose roots run deep and is a breath of fresh air to a world
musical realm that at times suffocates in its attempt to be stylish.
