The Meadows Percussion Ensemble
Robert Stroker, dir.; Jon Lee, assist. conductor

This CD by the Meadows Percussion Ensemble is as dynamic, colorful and rhythmically appealing as their first release strike. It features many interesting new works including Michael Daugherty's Lex, inspired by the comics' hero, Superman.

"The ensemble really handles the drumming patterns well. . .This is a nice disc that will doubtless be enjoyed by percussionists and lovers of percussion music for some time." - Payton MacDonald (American Record Guide)
