Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Guitarist Zacc Harris, Bassist Chris Bates, and Drummer Pete Hennig of the Twin Cities Jazz Quartet Atlantis Quartet. We dive into their electrifying new album, Live at Berlin, and explore the group’s deep collective history and creative chemistry.

Recorded during the opening week of Minneapolis’s newest jazz venue, Berlin, this Shifting Paradigm Records release captures a bold, freewheeling set of five previously unrecorded compositions that showcase the band’s reinvigorated, exploratory sound. Since forming in 2006, the Atlantis Quartet has become one of the most celebrated modern jazz groups in the Upper Midwest — known for blending intricate composition with fearless improvisation and infusing jazz with elements of rock, funk, and post-bop.
