- Vital Tech Tones
The Vital Tech Tones were an American fusion supergroup formed in the mid-1990s. It was composed of
Vital Information drummer Steve Smith,Tribal Tech guitaristScott Henderson , andBéla Fleck and the Flecktones bassistVictor Wooten . The group released two albums before breaking up due to time constraints (the band was a side project for all three members). There is still some talk of a future reunion, but no official announcement has been made.The band never played live, although Henderson and Smith did perform a concert together.
The band's music is almost entirely instrumental, focused on virtuosic, free flowing soloing on top of a complex, solid groove. It is considered to be more on the rock end of the fusion spectrum.
