Tunnels (3)

A quartet of inventive musicians who produced sounds on the edge of jazz, Tunnels was the brainchild of Swiss vibraphonist and percussionist Marc Wagnon and bassist Percy Jones, who was an essential element of the first recording put out by the band, titled With Percy Jones and released in 1994. Drummer Frank Katz, and multi-instrumentalist and composer Van Manakas were also brought on board and helped develop the spastic fusion style that would be evident on Tunnels' second album, Painted Rock, which was released by Wagnon's label, Buckyball Music, in 1999. The group resurfaced in 2002 with the release of Progressivity, which featured notable appearances from guitarist John Goodsall and violinist Mark Feldman. Tunnels fifth and last recording "Natural Selection" featured Drummer John O'Reilly Jr. Releases: - Natural Selection Buckyball Records 2006 - The Art of Living Dangerously Live Buckyball Records 2004 - Progressivity Buckyball Records 2002 - Painted Rock Buckyball Records 1999 - Tunnels with Percy Jones Ozone 1993 / Buckyball Records 1999
