ATLANTIS JAZZ ENSEMBLE picture
Like the mythical lost continent that gave it its name, the Atlantis Jazz Ensemble's music lies somewhere between the shores of Africa, Europe, and the Americas, influenced by jazz currents running from both sides of the Atlantic.

This Ottawa group was founded in 2013 by saxophonist Zakari Frantz and pianist Pierre Chrétien of the Souljazz Orchestra, both looking to explore new directions in modal, spiritual, and esoteric jazz music. They recruited like-minded trumpeter Ed Lister, double bassist Alex Bilodeau, and drummer Mike Essoudry for the journey, and they have never looked back.

Always refining their sultry grooves and signature sound, the Atlantis Jazz Ensemble never fails to make some serious waves.

A very nice and adventurous album by the same people who are normally called the Souljazz Orchestra and Cinephonic.

The music can be described as a mix of progressive jazz and spiritual jazz. The concept is mythical and not spiritual though.

It sometimes reminds a bit of what Matthew Halsall or Nat Birchall are releasing, but it also has some seventies elements like Nucleus or Eero Koivistoinen.

The most solos are handled by Ed Lister (trumpet), Zakari Frantz (saxophone) and Pierre Chrétien (electric piano) who all play in Souljazz Orchestra aswell.

The music is calm and adventurous and although it is labeled fusion, I am sure that jazz-enthousiasts will like it. Especially lovers of seventies postbop or british/scandinavian progressive jazz, typical of the seventies, with a touch of afrobeat/jazzfunk in the rhythms
