Atlantic Groove Society

Atlantic Groove Society is a forefronted initiative and project by L.A. trumpeter Alexander Hartgers and Dutch keyboardist Raymond Kaitjily who have been musician colleagues and friends for more than 20+ years. 

Both tapping into their musician & friend connections by bringing the Atlantic Groove Society

come alive by combining their strength of musicianship through Alex's & Ray's soulful compositions.

 

The band/project name "Atlantic Groove Society" is based on the Atlantic (ocean) which divides the continents between Alex (USA) & Ray (Netherlands) and the compositions are based on Groove combined with the use of their musician & friend connections which stands for Society.


Album: Past & Present (2022)

 Their first album (released in February 2022)  is called "Past & Present" which reflects the time spent in the past together and currently, in the present. Besides that there are compositions which were made & recorded in the years before their debut release of 2022 and more recent years (2020/2021) towards the existence of the current project.  
Currently Alex & Ray are already writing a second exciting album with their Atlantic Groove Society studio band project.
