Atomic: Six Easy Pieces

Read "Six Easy Pieces" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


Founded in 2000, the Swedish/Norwegian group Atomic has remained true to their uncommon blend of American and European influences over the years. With only one lineup change since their inception, the quintet continues to pay homage--in equal parts--to the post 1960s era in the US, and the inherent innovations of Europe's northern-most region. With Six Easy ...

Atomic: Lucidity

Read "Lucidity" reviewed by Vincenzo Roggero


"Laterna Interfruit," il brano iniziale, è un'indovinata miscela di accattivanti groove ritmici e atmosfere nordiche, di assoli calibrati e di timbriche inusuali, di esplosioni free e di canonici riff di matrice boppistica. Sono queste le coordinate entro le quali si muove l'intero Lucidity, settima prova discografica dell'ensemble norvegese denominato Atomic. Le oscillazioni ora ...

La difficile sfida della musica improvvisata a Firenze

Read "La difficile sfida della musica improvvisata a Firenze" reviewed by Neri Pollastri

Atomic: Lucidity

Read "Lucidity" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


There's an inference on this Norwegian ensemble's webpage bio that its blend of free-jazz and dynamic mode of operations is the antithesis to their fellow countrymen's largely quaint or ethereal jazz output evidenced on ECM Records, for example. However, it's not that these innuendos or tenets are viewed as negatives, but the highly respected musicians comprising ...
