Atmosferic - Jazz, Upmarket Function Band and Party Band - Johannesburg
 

Wendy’s love affair with classic jazz standards and swinging hits of earlier decades began when she was a young girl growing up in the smoky coal town of Witbank, South Africa. And while this seemingly insignificant “dorp” could be considered a very unlikely birthplace for a musician, it was the rich musicality of her family which helped develop her musical tastes. The many hours she spent stooped over the record player listening to her grandfather’s collection of golden oldies laid the foundations for her broad spectrum of music appreciation.

Atmosferic

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 va va voom!.

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.

Soak up the sultry honeyed tones, funky flair & improvisational zest of Wendy Allen Twyford…. fuse it with the deep solid grooves, passionate performance & musical wizardry of Graeme Currie….and you have the essence of Atmosferic.

The diversity of the Atmosferic repertoire and sound affords audiences the opportunity to sip sundowners to the sultry sounds of a laid-back cocktail set or swing it up on the dance floor. The professional approach and impeccable presentation of this stylish outfit can only but assist in creating the perfect "atmosphere" for a classy gathering – always allowing their unique ability to perfectly “synchronize” to the occasion, to come to the fore.

Atmosferic

The professional approach and delivery of this stylish duo can only but assist in creating the perfect "atmosphere" for a classy gathering. The basic Atmosferic duo does augment its sound if and when required by including various guest artists (some of the country's finest session musicians) in their line–up.

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 & ever evolving musical arrangements, together with HER adventurous interpretation keep material fresh & organic.

Whether as a 3-piece of Wendy Allen Twyford on vocals, Graeme Currie on double bass & John Fresk on keys or with the inclusion of drum kit, guitar, saxophone, trumpet and/or trombone, this stylish outfit enhances an atmosphere of class for a memorable occasion, allowing their unique energetic blend of music to perfectly synchronize to the tone of any gathering.

Give them the Atmosferic experience…

Indeed, the sounds of Atmosferic can be enhanced with anything from a soulful violin, resonant double bass or dulcet flute to a raunchy saxophone, soothing trumpet or euphonic trombone. A refreshing culmination of Atmospheric's augmented sound is the emergence of Atmosferic expansion, a funky jazz quintet made up of the core duo together with drums, double bass/electric bass and saxophone.
