About

Saturday January 25th Doors 7:30 โ€“ Show 8:30pm 860-434-0886 www.thesidedoorjazz.com *

Andrew Atkinson is that rare type of musician who can play just about anything, and play it all with gusto. His drumming draws on the seductive beats of his native Jamaica, the percolating rhythms of his childhood home Miami, and the world of jazz that has beckoned and captivated him in all his travels. Heโ€™s now presenting it to the world at large with the debut album of the Andrew Atkinson Quartet, โ€œKeep Looking Forward.โ€

Featuring musicians from all over the globe who are just as comfortable with all kinds of amorphous rhythms, Atkinsonโ€™s Quartet is a true extension of his international zeal. Classics such as Miles Davisโ€™ โ€œBlue in Greenโ€ become slinky gems peppered with shuffling reggae drums, woozy sax lines, steady bass and off-kilter piano. The originals are even more adventurous, with hard bop energy shooting through elements of Latin, R&B, deep funk and even drum nโ€™bass. Radical reinvention isnโ€™t the only play in the quartetโ€™s book however, and the group demonstrates its love for pure jazz by playing it straight ahead โ€“ but no less spirited โ€“ when the timeโ€™s right. No matter what the tune, Atkinsonโ€™s outfit takes on every number with confidence, skill and exuberant playfulness that could only have come from having tasted the world.
