INTRO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As one of the most prolific and respected musicians to emerge from the vibrant Dutch scene, saxophonist and composer Tineke Postma<\/strong> has been touring internationally as a leader since 2003. With a catalogue of seven albums her international profile has resulted in the Rising Star on soprano<\/em> award in the Downbeat Critics Poll 2019<\/em> and seen her perform alongside greats such as Herbie Hancock<\/strong> (watch here from 30:00\u2019<\/a>), Terri Lyne Carrington<\/strong> and Dianne Reeves<\/strong>.

Tineke is a musician of inventiveness and creativity, not afraid to explore the unknown, and revels in the inspiration of the master, Wayne Shorter<\/strong>, who once told her, before going on stage to perform together, \u201cLet\u2019s start composing\u201d.

Before his transition in May 2023 Wayne Shorter declared (source: Clark Rundell<\/em>) that Tineke Postma should be the one to take his role in his symphonic written work (Opera Iphigenia, Gaia, and Orbits) and she performed these works for the first time in June 2023 with Esperanza Spalding along with pianist Kris Davis, Terri Lyne Carrington and the Polish Symphony Orchestra in Poland at the Bielska Zadymka Jazzowa Festival).

Tineke\u2019s latest album \u2018ARIA\u2019, released in May 2023 by Edition Records (UK), consists of a new book of adventurous compositions by Tineke with a new group of prolific and highly acclaimed musicians such as NYC based guitarist Ben Monder, bassist Robert Landfermann (Germany) and American drummer based in Amsterdam, Tristan Renfrow.  The album received raving reviews such as a four-star review in Downbeat. In May\/June 2023 the Tineke Postma Aria Group embarked on a successful European release tour playing festivals and venues such as the Bimhuis in Amsterdam, Ronnie Scotts in London, the festival \u201cLike a Jazz Machine\u201d in Luxembourg, the Sunset\/Sunside in Paris, the Unterfahrt in Munich and Moods in Zurich. For the next phase of European touring, the Tineke Postma Aria Group included the highly acclaimed guitarist David Doruzka, replacing Ben Monder. The dynamics of this band were such that she decided to write more material for it and Tineke a new album is planned to be recorded in March 2025.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
