Review

Following on the heels of Jam, his exciting and impulsive jazz-heavy collaboration with Mike Marshall, the veteran new-acoustic fiddler releases this diverse and always compelling compilation. Culled from three years' worth of unreleased material, Diary showcases a wide range of viol-family-only settings--everywhere from Anger's Oakland studio to the National Music Foundation theater of Lenox, Massachusetts, to "Cabin 48" in Tennessee's Montgomery Bell State Park--and sidemen--everyone from bluegrass standouts to Scottish and Irish legends to old-time specialists to unclassifiables like himself. The song selection is equally as eclectic: traditional fiddle tunes; covers of Monk, Hendrix, and the Beatles; spontaneous improvisations. This amalgam of styles, sounds, and moods, with its tinges of Celtic, Cajun, country, classical, jazz, and blues, gives more insight into Darol Anger's musical universe than any bio ever could. --Marc Greilsamer
