ATTICUS LAZENBY GROUP
The Atticus Lazenby Group formed in Chicago in 2014 as a performance vehicle for bassist/composer Atticus Lazenby’s compositions, through which it has since been exploring the points of intersection where jazz, funk, rock, hip-hop, and world music meet. The sound of the ALGroup layers horn-borne melodies and improvisational volleys over interlocking guitar and keyboard textures and a grooving foundation of bass, drums, and percussion. The ALGroup has performed around Chicago and shared the stage with local and nationally touring acts, including Dynamo and Fat Night. In July 2016, they released their self-titled debut album on Bandcamp and Spotify. They are currently working on material for a forthcoming second album.
The Atticus Lazenby Group consists of:
Atticus Lazenby – bass, compositions
Hayden Ashley – synthesizer
Sam Hasting – guitar
Colin Drozdoff – wurlitzer
Nick Kabat – drums
