Artist History Atria, a Los Angeles based jazz quintet, was formed in Summer, 2000. The plan was to get together, play some jazz, and see what happens - but mostly just to stretch out and have some fun. But it was clear from the start that this was something more - much more than just the sum of its parts. Each player brings a unique history of style and influnce, that work together to form an environment of creativity and exploration.
