Starting with material culled from the Piedmont region of the Carolinas\, they sought to freshly interpret this work\, not merely recreate it\, highlighting the central role African-Americans played in shaping our nation's popular music from its beginnings more than a century ago. The virtuosic trio's approach was provocative and revelatory. Their concerts\, The New York Times declared\, were "an end-to-end display of excellence They dip into styles of Southern black music from the 1920s and '30s string-band music\, jug-band music\, fife and drum\, early jazz and beam their curiosity outward. They make short work of their instructive mission and spend their energy on things that require it: flatfoot dancing\, jug playing\, shouting."
