Liner notes:
Saskia Laroo is one of those all too few musicians, especially in the jazz world, who appreciates that she is in the entertainment business. To paraphrase her, "When I'm playing I like people to have a good time and dance, this is how jazz started. I don't just want to play music for other musicians." She is careful to point out that she has a lot of respect for those musicians who take a more intellectual approach to their music- but it was that scene that nearly lead her to give up on jazz alltogether.
Fortunately for us she didn't, instead she discovered Jazzdance. IT'S LIKE JAZZ is the product of Saskia drawing on all her much in demand musicianship plus her writing and arranging skills to produce an exellent CD full of headnoddingly good grooves. Heavily infulenced by the Jazzdance scene it corporates an eclectic mix of moods, styles and beats with an emphasis on that essential ingredient "swing". Saskia Laroo and Friends doin' that thing, check it!

Saskia Laroo
Active Decades: '90s and '00s
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Hip-Hop, Hard Bop, Acid Jazz, Modal Music
Heavily influenced by Miles Davis, Saskia Laroo is a soft-toned, economical trumpeter who is comfortable playing electronic acid jazz, club music and hip-hop as well as straight-ahead acoustic jazz. Laroo, who also plays bass, was born and raised in the Netherlands, where she began studying the trumpet at the age of seven and became interested in playing jazz when she was a teen-ager. In 1994, Laroo released her first album, It's Like Jazz, for her own Laroo label. An acid jazz/hip-hop/dance effort that sometimes brings to mind US3, It's Like Jazz was fairly similar to her sophomore album of 1998, Bodymusic. But in 1999, the trumpeter recorded straight-ahead acoustic jazz on her third album, Jazzkia (which was essentially a tribute to Davis) and her fourth album, Sunset Eyes 2000, which prominently featured the great tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards.
