Violinist Darol Anger has made his mark on new acoustic music with a number of different groups. From 1975-1984, Anger was a key member of the pioneering <a href="spotify:artist:5Biyy105DovS7aMHiU1HRL">David Grisman Quintet</a>, whose blend of folk, bluegrass, and jazz virtually defined the new acoustic genre, as well as advancing the harmonic and instrumental frontiers of traditional musics; as a member of <a href="spotify:artist:5ofemHoNWTjeADvzFTAhy2">the Turtle Island String Quartet</a> in the late '80s and early '90s, Anger also helped bring virtuosic improvisation and boundless eclecticism to what had been an essentially classical, strictly composed musical format. Additionally, Anger co-founded the Montreux Band, a folk- and jazz-influenced group that recorded for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Windham+Hill%22">Windham Hill</a> in the mid- to late '80s and had an impact on the formation of so-called new adult contemporary (NAC) radio, and with <a href="spotify:artist:5udgy2xk333j33hKnwDz8O">Grisman</a> alumnus <a href="spotify:artist:2WJmZq6fEmecdQVd3s38jE">Mike Marshall</a> founded the progressive bluegrass outfit <a href="spotify:artist:67QYlUab4lgbVuCQyqLxsA">Psychograss</a>, which carried on the eclectic <a href="spotify:artist:5udgy2xk333j33hKnwDz8O">Grisman</a> tradition in the 1990s. Again teaming up with <a href="spotify:artist:73YLmyaazO66GncUVHP0KV">Marshall</a> in the late '90s, Anger co-founded the Anger/Marshall Band, which kept him busy into the 2000s alongside his work on the Heritage Folk Music project, his continued appearances with his previous groups, his founding of the American Fiddle Ensemble, and his work as a producer and arranger for other artists. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
