On hot summer nights all along the east coast of America, the beach front strip comes alive with the sights and sounds of summer as nightclubs and bands crack out their sizzling music. Incorporating the funky-rock sounds of East Coast beach music of the '60s and '70s, Atlantic Avenue takes a nostalgic step into the past while keeping a solid foothold in the present. With elements of doo-wop, soul and swing, this piece is bursting with surf, sand and sunshine.
