Our band was founded in 2023 for a vocal
night project at school, in the Royal
Conservatoire The Hague. Since then
somehow we stayed together for Bettina’s
exam as a band. And then in the last semester
we have also started to work on our own
repertoire which includes a different
approach of the interpretation of jazz
standards and combining jazz with folk
music from our backgrounds. Bettina’s
traditional background is the main thread
in the band’s story, but we also started to
work on Basso’s folk music, from Hong
Kong, which creates a wider possibility of
creating music together, opening new
opportunities and bringing novelty into the color of our work.

Alexander Brott is one of my favorite young players on the scene. His playing is so pure in terms of where he’s coming from and also how personal his approach is. This album is a beautiful representation of his elegant playing and his fantastic writing. Every tune is masterfully constructed and a perfect vehicle for this amazing band. All of these great musicians are playing from a place of empathy and love. This a great record!!” – Peter Bernstein

“Absolute top-class jazz guitar” – Dalademokraten

“Brott is a master of the guitar, a virtuoso” – La Habitación del Jazz

“[Brott’s] fluid, bop-based lines are reminiscent of the best of a golden era that turned the jazz world upside down as it rewrote the music’s vocabulary (…) There is, in fact, nothing about The Aesthetic Attitude that is less than admirable, from the writing and choice of musicians to the performance itself. 4 stars “ – All About Jazz
