The day this piece was written, the spokeswomen of the white house announced to the world that 'the president gave alternative facts'. The composer Bart Picqueur, being somewhat puzzled by that mysterious terminology, used it as the title for the piece that he just finished at that moment.
Alternative facts is an audition presentation piece for Eb or Bb saxophone with piano accompaniment.
It has a smokey jazz introduction and a driving rock main theme.
