Instrumental Arrangements of Jazz Standards & Popular Songs

DUOSONIC was a guitar duet led by veteran musician Rick Cittar together with Mark Abrahamian. DUOSONIC set the tone with its unobtrusive arrangements of jazz standards and popular songs.

DUOSONIC ended its brief run when Mark Abrahamian was tapped to join Mickey Thomas & The Starship as their lead guitarist. He is still with The Starship, which tours relentlessly.

Ideal for an intimate gathering or a venue that cannot accomodate a full band, DUOSONIC was the perfect touch for classic entertainment, playing a full range of popular tunes, such as

Stolen Moments	Ricky's Blues
Pipeline	Stride Blues	Satin Doll
Crossroads	Samba Wamba	Sugar
James Bond Theme	Tenderly	Sen-Sa-Shun
My Favorite Things	Sleepwalk	Stand By Me
California Dreaming	Autumn Leaves	Black Orpheus
Yesterday	Crazy	Heartbreak Hotel
Walk Don't Run	Michelle	Blue Bossa
All Blues	Wipeout	Sen-Sa-Shun
Freddie The Freeloader	Georgia On My Mind	...and many more...

RICK CITTAR has played guitar most of his life and has been a performing artist for the past twenty years. He is also a songwriter and has produced a number of CD's for local groups. Rick has taught professionally for eighteen years and is currently the frontman for a popular dance band.

MARK ABRAHAMIAN graduated from Guitar Institute of Technology at the age of seventeen and has taught professionally for fifteen years. He also produces his own music and currently plays in The Starship.

Working together, Rick and Mark created a wonderful and inspiring sense of the music they performed, while their easy-listening interpretations of the jazz and popular tunes were very accessible and appealing.
