The Dizzy Atmosphere Jazz Trio Springs Ahead in St. Louis

Virtuoso violinist Christopher Voelker leads the jazz trio Dizzy Atmosphere featuring modern swing guitarist Jon Ferber and double bass ace Richard Tralles. Since 1999, Dizzy has navigated St. Louis’ competitive live music scene with elegant, sweet, sophisticated stylings of American, European, and Latin jazz.

The trio’s influences embrace gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt; French fiddler Stephane Grappelli; Brazilian composer Antônio Carlos Jobim; Cuban bandleader Xavier Cugat; and namesake Dizzy Gillespie, creator of the “Dizzy Atmosphere” jazz standard performed by the trio itself.
