The Marc Atkinson Trio (Virtuosic Gypsy Jazz)
What:
Playhouse Arts and the Humboldt Folklife Society bring the Marc Atkinson Trio to town on Wednesday, June 9 at 8 p.m. Marc Atkinson is one of Canada’s finest musicians, a world-renowned guitarist and improviser steeped in the traditions of Gypsy swing. Winner of several Western Canadian awards, including a JUNO nomination, he is the leader and composer of the internationally renowned Marc Atkinson Trio (and co-founder, composer and performer in the acclaimed British Columbia-based folk group The Bills). The music of his Trio is melodically captivating, sensually charged and ferociously, technically awe-inspiring. Embracing a lifetime of musical influences, Marc and the Trio have just released their fourth CD, The Marc Atkinson Trio IV, praised as the finest yet. The compositions on this CD are punchy, driving and rhythmically inventive. The Trio, formed in 2000, has toured North America, England and Europe and has received standing ovations everywhere they perform from the Montreal Jazz Festival to the Vancouver International Folk Festival to DjangoFest Northwest. You can find out more at his website: www.marcatkinson.com
