She has toured and performed all over the world with musicians including Herbie Hancock, Dianne Reeves, Pablo Held, Josh Evans, Dezron Douglas, and many more. Alden has been awarded a number of opportunities including ASCAP’s Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award (2024), New Music USA Next Jazz Legacy Semi-Finalist (2022), The Focusyear Fellowship (2021-22), and since 2016 has participated in numerous programs committed to the support and empowerment of female artists, including the Women In Jazz Organization and the Dorothy Goodwin Fund.
