(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is, according to the liner notes, the entire concert played on July 19th, 1984 at the Montreux Jazz Festival, in Montreux, Switzerland. Musicians are: Darol Anger, violins; Barbara Higbie, piano; Mike Marshall, guitar, mandolin; Todd Phillips, up-right bass; and Andy Narell, steel drums. 55 minutes running time, there are 10 tracks in all, not 8 as listed here. As the samples demonstrate, this is not 'new age' but acoustic-based music, with a jazz/classical/contemporary sensibility (no synthesizers are used)."
