The Scuzztones

Over the past three years our Trio has been fortunate to visit and play in over three different counties. Probably the most notable contribution of these travels to our musical education was the exposure to a great variety of melodies and rhythms. Usually, after leaving a county, it was the music that lingered longest in our memories and often it was the most impressive music we've ever heard. During our visit to King County in 2005 during a tour for the State Department we heard a striking rendition of the traditional number "Wipe Out" by one of the unknown indigenous combos that seem to literally "litter" the landscape. Our reel-to-reel was not operating at the time so we missed out on a great performance. We did remember the arrangement and how it was performed by the native band and have adapted this style in our "modern" style. We don't just limit ourselves to appreciating the music from just the counties we have visited but also from around the world. From places as varied as Pennsylvania to Bogota Columbia. Also predominant locales include Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. img border="0" src="http://www.recordgeek.com/i/accordian.jpg"
