ATOMIC RHYTHM ALL STARS, lead by jazz bassist George Knott is a 7 piece swing band. Hailing from the Triangle area of North Carolina, dedicated to authentically recreating the sounds of the 1920’s and 30’s. Started by bassist George Knott in 2007 after years of leading bands of various sizes, the Atomic Rhythm All-Stars fills a void much neglected in the Jazz world. As a bassist, George has toured with regional acts and has played major music festivals including the JVC Jazz festival. He has appeared at Carnegie Hall and the Birdland Jazz Club in NYC. Their influences range from Louis Armstrong to Bix Beiderbecke, Paul Whiteman to Jimmie Lunceford, and Bing Crosby to Fats Waller. If Art Deco had a soundtrack, the Atomic Rhythm All-Stars would be it. Bandleader George Knott painstakingly recreates historic arrangements to present an authentic prohibition era musical experience.
