Atlanticus is a transatlantic collaboration between Washington, DC saxophonist Peter Fraize and UK jazz heavyweights Terry Seabrook (organ), Jack Kendon (trumpet), and Milo Fell (drums), performing their updated conception of the classic Hammond organ group sound with a post-modern sensibility. The group has been active since 2016 and have embarked upon four UK tours with notable appearances at the Love Supreme Festival and Ronnie Scott’s. Their first US tour will begin in October 2024.
Atlanticus has previously released two full length albums, Blue Haven (2022) and Upstream (2023). Their third, Oceanic (2024), features a 5-part suite with video accompaniment exploring themes of beauty, wildlife diversity, sustainability, responsibility, and the effects of pollution on the world’s oceans. The music and visuals are a contemplation on both the majesty and fragility of more than 70% of our planet.
