Location: Based in Johannesburg

Biography

Atmosferic is the definitive crossover jazz band for any hip, up-market event or celebration that requires musical excellence, a finishing touch of chic sophistication & a generous dose of pizzazz. For those who prefer contemporary adult sounds, Atmosferic synergizes elements of tradition with avant-garde, blending & groove shifting between swinging standards, acid jazz, rhythmic Latin, retro-funk and smooth á la mode favourites.

This stylish outfit enhances an atmosphere of class for a memorable occasion, allowing their unique energetic blend of music to perfectly synchronize to the vibe of any gathering. Soak up the sultry honeyed tones, funky flair & improvisational zest of Wendy Allen …. fuse it with the deep solid grooves, passionate performance & musical wizardry of Graeme Currie…. and you have the essence of Atmosferic.

Wendy fronts the outfit as lead vocalist, adding her spice to the mix with spunky Latin percussion. Graeme is not called "The Bass Man" for nothing - masterfully transmorphing the groove on his double bass or electric Fender, his hip and ever evolving musical arrangements, combined with Wendy's adventurous interpretation, keep material fresh & organic.

The band is augmented by the country’s finest musicians. Whether as a 3-piece of vocals with piano & double bass, or with the inclusion of drum kit, guitar, saxophone, trumpet and/or trombone - Atmosferic morph their musical complement to suit the tone & vibe of any celebration. ATMOSFERIC is able to perform as a duo, trio, quartet, quintet, sextet or septet.

If you wish to add a splash of panache while your guests sip sundowners to the sultry sounds of a cocktail set, or create a passionate soundscape to get your party pulsing on the dance floor…

Give them the real feel…

Give them the Atmosferic experience…
