Myriam Alter received classical music training starting from the age of 8. Being very involved with her studies (graduating from high school, then getting a license for psychology at the University of Brussels), she stopped practicing her instrument at the age of 15. After her studies first she worked in an advertising agency for seven years. Then, without really being aware of it, she returned to the search of music by opening a dancing school which she managed for another seven years.
At 36 she picked up her instrument again and soon discovered her skills as a brilliant composer with an individual approach to romantic moods. (...) Coming from a Judeo-Spanish family (Sephardic Jews), Myriam Alter was raised with all kinds of music such as Latin, Italian, Oriental, Spanish, South American and classical. As a piano player she was trained in classical music, but later found her way into jazz. Myriam Alter first formed a quartet, then a quintet together with Belgian musicians. After gaining some practical experience, she began to write her own music.
When she started to feel comfortable with her music and got recognition for it, she decided to record a first album with Ben Sluys (B) on saxophone, Gino Lattuca (B) on trumpet, Michel Benita (F) on bass, Jan de Haes (B) on drums and herself on piano. As this album was successful, it was followed by another one with the same musicians except Stefan Lievestro (H) playing bass instead of Michel Benita. The second album also got very good reviews. The press emphasized especially Myriam's ability for composing.
So the idea of making an international album occurred. "Alter Ego" was recorded in New York in 1997 with Billy Drewes (USA) on sax and clarinet, Ron Miles (USA) on trumpet, Kenny Werner (USA) on piano, Marc Johnson (USA) on bass and Joey Baron (USA) on drums. While Myriam left the piano seat to Kenny Werner, the quintet only played Myriam's compositions.
Then came the time to write music that would really express "who she was". The resulting album was called "If" (2002), a worldwide success, with Dino Saluzzi (bandoneon), John Ruocco (clarinet), Kenny Werner (piano), Greg Cohen (bass) and Joey Baron (drums).
In 2007, come the release of "Where is There" with Jaques Morelenbaum (cello), John Ruocco (clarinet), Pierre Vaiana (soprano sax,), Salvatore Bonafede (piano), Greg Cohen (bass) and Joey Baron (drums).
from http://www.myriamalter.com/

"When you write music, the most important thing is not necessarily to play it yourself. The most important thing is to go as far as possible in what you want to hear and how you want your music being played.
I thought that the meeting of Billy Drewes, Ron Miles, Kenny Werner, Marc Johnson, and Joey Baron could create the ideal musical and human situation to express the feelings I meant in my tunes.
I think I wasn't wrong and that the chemistry that came out from the combination of those beautiful musicians creates on this record some magic moments."
- Myriam Alter
"...darkly romantic, dramatic, and constantly changing. I ordered the CD right away and was/am not disappointed. It's beautiful music performed with spirit and gusto by a group of virtuosos, and it's very well recorded."
