With jazz that can be best described as a mixture of Cool, Smooth and Funky, the collaborative efforts of producer/performers, Scott "Bugs" Allen and Earl "Tee" Harris have signed with Spectra Jazz, bringing 3rd Scenario to the roster.
Bassist/Trumpeter Scott Allen, a native of Baltimore, MD and Guitarist/Vocalist, Earl Harris, a Chicago native, forged a bond some 12 years ago.
Their present project "It's About Time", is driven with the mission to provide uncompromising musical excellence released under the Spectra Jazz banner.
Together they raise the bar to become the next Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis of Funk, Jazz and Soul. Some of the artists they've worked with include Impromp2, Stephanie Mills, Bebe Winans, and Euge Groove.
The upcoming project promises to deliver exotic funk jazz experiences with hints of far away places.

This is one of those “shining bands”, most likely brilliant for me because they take me all the way back to the days when Curtis (as in Mayfield) was lighting up all of our lives in the turbulent ’60's & ’70's… they put a NICE 21st Century spin on it, though, & I’ve no doubt you’ll love their music as much as I do!

Bio
3rd Scenario is the veteran collaboration of two of L.A.'s most promising Jazz/Funk/ R&B visionaries -- Bassist/trumpeter/vocalist Scott "Bugs" Allen, 2005 N.A.A.C.P. Theatre award-winning musical director, a native of Baltimore, MD met multi-talented Guitarist/Vocalist Earl "Tee" Harris, (Improm2, Stephanie Mills, BeBe Winans, Euge Groove) a Chicago son, 12 years ago at an audition for the now defunct Soul/Pop band Back2Back (Scene 1). This gifted duo seeking a more "cutting edge" project branched off with several of its departing members for a second project, but were still unsatisfied with the results (Scene 2). Finally, Allen and Harris decided upon taking the name "3rd Scenario". The name is meant to pay homage to both men being 3rd generation; Harris in namesake, and Allen in family musical legacy.The name also represents their third and final attempt at uncompromising musical excellence. In this effort, they would align themselves with only the best musicans available, thus raising the bar, and have been making their mark on stages and in the studios of L.A. ever since. With their national debut CD "It's About Time..." primed for world-wide distribution, 3rd Scenario has inked a deal with the Spectra Jazz label of Spectra Records. Their sound has been called sophisticated and funky! Their live stage shows with a band comprised of the elite session musicians in the industry have been described by the local jazz press as "The Dynamic Duo of FunkJazzSoul..."
