With her ninth album, VOYA (released November 14th on the modern progressive Swiss label Clap Your Hands), saxophonist and composer Tineke Postma continues her musical journey, showing that she never ceases to grow and to explore new sounds and uncharted paths.
For this December release tour, Tineke will perform with her Tineke Postma Group: David Dorůžka (guitar, Prague), Robert Landfermann (double bass, Cologne), and Tristan Renfrow (drums, Amsterdam). After years of touring the world together, the group has forged a sound that is deeply personal, always evolving, and grounded in trust and attentive listening.
Not joining this tour, but featured on VOYA, is the evocative voice of New York’s Theo Bleckmann, a Grammy-nominated vocalist and ECM artist celebrated for his genre-blurring work across jazz, contemporary music, and experimental sound.
The title VOYA resonates on multiple levels. It recalls “voyage,” a passage outward and inward; it honors “voice,” highlighting Bleckmann’s presence as instrument; and it invokes Oya, the Yoruba wind goddess of transformation, breath, and storm. Thus, VOYA becomes a journey through wind, voice, and spirit: a space beyond sound, a vessel for listening and reflection.
This ensemble thrives by leaning into the unknown and dwelling in the present, in which the spirit of Tineke’s mentor Wayne Shorter lingers softly, honored in her interpretation of his luminous composition “A Place Called Somewhere.”
