Alto was the name for the short-lived rock and fusion project fronted by former Kraan saxophone player Johannes "Alto" Pappert. They were never really a proper band, as Alto was really more of an ego trip for Johannes Pappert, showing off his talent as a multi-instrumentalist, and featuring a hoard of top musicians and Kraan friends as guests. Happy Ambrosia was the 2nd release after a self-titled record in 1978.The style is rather soft, relaxed vocals by Ellen Meier.
