Montreux: A Windham Hill Retrospective (1993)

It may be sudden, but this is the last post about Montreux. Do not fret, though, because there will be posts about the band members as soloists, coming soon.

This week I'll be covering the album, Montreux: A Windham Hill Retrospective (1993).

Here is the album cover.



Three years after the band broke apart and the band members either went to form other bands or become soloists, like William Ackerman, a "Windham Hill Retrospective" album of Montreux's work was released, containing their greatest hits.

Here are some reviews of the album from Amazon.mp3:

5.0 out of 5 stars Montreux... a great band... maybe too good December 30, 1999
By Mark A. Wellman
Format:Audio CD
"I first heard this album one evening on public radio while driving home. I was blown away! Great tunes that defied classification. I called the station to find out who it was and bought the CD as soon as I could. Great playing,catchy-intricate-innovative tunes,a good sound- it`s what I`d been dreaming of.Maybe they were too good or too hard to pidgeonhole,but,sadly,they are no longer together. But you can still buy some of what they did...DO IT! wellman@kricket.net"
