Let Them Say (1989)

After more touring, the members of Montreux got into the studio for the last time, creating the 1989 album, Let Them Say. In 1990, the band broke apart. Marshall went off to create the "Modern Mandolin Quartet", Anger and Balakrishnan formed the Turtle Island String Quartet in 1985, but by 1990, Anger joined the group full-time. Manring released a few solo albums and Higbie released once called Signs of Life. All albums were still under the Windham Hill label.



I couldn't find any reviews from Amazon.com, due to the fact I can't find any. So I will just say that the quartet expands to a quintet with drummer Tom Miller.

Here is one of the songs called "October Wedding":




Here is the track listing:

1. Let Them Say
2. October Wedding
3. Astronomics
4. Barbara's Dream
5. Mandolin Rising
6. Finding Time
7. Road to Vernazza
8. King Sod
9. Still Mountain
10. Free D

Live at Montreux (1984)

For their second LP, Darol Anger invited Mike Marshall, Todd Philips and Andy Narell to join he and Higbie, as mention two weeks ago, and they soon became the Darol Anger and Barbara Higbie Quintet, later changing it to Montreux. Balakrishnan left the band to study composition and Anger took his position in playing the violin (full time). The band, minus Balakrishnan, performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1984,  and their performances were recorded there for the release of their second album. Here is the album cover.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! For this year's post, it will be a late one due to the fact that the holidays came by too quickly for me to prepare myself. Tonight I will be reviewing George Winston's 1982 album, December . To learn more about George Winston, click the link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Winston Now to begin, December is George Winston's fourth solo piano album, released in 1982 as a holiday album, follow up to the album Autumn , and as a tribute to the winter season. In 2001, a 20th Anniversary Edition of the album was released, including two bonus tracks not included on the original release. As of last year (2013), the album was again reissued by Valley Entertainment with Dancing Cat Records, since the original Windham Hill label is now defunct. This most recent reissue has been packaged in a Digipak and features a revised cover art, making the image wider and blending the text onto the art cover rather than above it. For comparison&#
