When it comes to the new wave of Scandinavian jazz, there is no ignoring Atomic. For ten years now this five-piece band has been stirring up the Swedish and Norwegian jazz scenes with explosive acoustic music. Rich melodies and grooves, in the best tradition of such American innovators as Charles Mingus and George Russell, are played with the eccentric energy of European free jazz. ‘Atomic take improv to the outer reaches, but then pull it back with infectious swing’ (The Guardian).
