Montreux was an American fusion band, specializing in the blend of jazz and bluegrass, with jam elements.
The chemistry worked well between the group, and Manring joined the band full-time (Phillips left to pursue solo projects).
They also picked up Anne-Marie Martins as their agent and manager, who led them to become one of the most successful Windham Hill bands live.
Anger, again with David Balakrishnan, formed the Turtle Island String Quartet in 1985 and left to pursue that group full-time.
All members of the band still perform as of 2006, and Manring and Higbie reunited for the August 27, 2006 Windham Hill Records reunion concert in Saratoga, California.
