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. ~ Stacia Proefrock
