Bank Shots

CD: $15
"Bank Shots" is a collection of new and recent original compositions by group members, Bob Accurso and Ted Reinhardt. It is the ensemble's first recording with Ted (former Spyro Gyra drummer), Kristen Shiner McGuire (Nazareth College), and Tiffany Nicely (SUNY Fredonia). The music is the ensemble's own blend of  "percussion fusion", progressive enough for the musically adventurous listener, and with a solid emphasis on rhythm and grooves that keep the energy flowing from beginning to end. "Bank Shots" was recorded in October 2003 at Chameleon West Studios co-owned by Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls.
