Collage presents:
ATLANTICUS
Entry Requirements: All welcome
Doors open 7pm. Music starts at 8pm.
ATLANTICUS is a British-American musical partnership bringing together the powerfully distinct musical personalities of US saxophonist Peter Fraize and UK organist Terry Seabrook, trumpeter Jack Kendon, and drummer Milo Fell, delivering a dynamic new entry to the rich transatlantic heritage of jazz.
ATLANTICUS draws from the storied tradition of the great Hammond organ groups, with a post-modern sound echoing the ground-breaking organ quartet of Larry Young’s Unity album and contemporary artists like Larry Goldings. The group’s repertoire is comprised of mostly original music spanning a broad stylistic spectrum of Hard Bop blowouts, modal explorations, funk and odd-metered grooves, Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and the Blues. Their engaging compositions, sometimes intricate, always grooving, honor the history while pushing at the boundaries of Organ Jazz. Instant Connection, Dynamic Performances.
Terry Seabrook (organ) has long been considered one of the top UK keyboardists and bandleaders. He began his musical life on the violin before switching to piano, becoming enchanted with jazz after hearing Oscar Peterson.
Peter Fraize (saxophone) has been a commanding presence on the Washington, DC scene for over 30 years, where he is known for his impassioned and high-energy playing, intricate and melodic composing, and his "no-boundaries" sensibility.
Jack Kendon (trumpet) followed his father, renowned bassist Adrian Kendon, into the family business and has himself become a prominent force in the UK jazz world. Jack is the co-founder and director of New Generation Jazz which helps emerging artists build audiences and introduces young people to the vital, living tradition of jazz music.
Milo Fell (drums) is one of the most sought-after drummers in UK Jazz today. Originally inspired by Ringo Starr and Animal from the Muppets, it was hearing Omar Hakim with Weather Report that drew him firmly into jazz.
