Atomic is a Swedish ensemble, frequently playing a bop or hard post-bop style, but not averse to moving into free jazz battle royale mode; can move between highly structured and I-will-do-what-I-want-for-a-while on a dime. (For you kids, be-bop was a style that probably started in the late 40’s but really took off in the 50’s; it was characterized by very precise fast melodic themes that were often played in unison as fast as the band could go. Those melodies would often be written to avoid standard scale patterns. On first listen they often sound as if random notes are being played, until it dawns on you that 4 people are all playing the exact same notes.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l5sWtcl8HE
