Amazing fiddler. Vaunted producer. Renowned educator. Tireless musical explorer. Darol Anger does not lack for admirable qualities.

But allow me to talk a little about one of the Portland resident’s most overlooked skills: time-management.

Since his introduction to the world more than 30 years ago as part of legendary string band the David Grisman Quintet, Anger has dipped his toes into more musical projects than just about any other player, with no regard for the categories that the rest of us seem to want to use to segment sounds.

Need a little folk-jazz fusion in your life? Look into Montreux, the Grammy-nominated band Anger shared with longtime collaborator Mike Marshall and two others. Interested in a contemporary take on bluegrass? Seek out Anger and Marshall’s work as a duo.

Curious about jazz, bluegrass and classical music smooshed together? You need to hear Anger’s Turtle Island String Quartet. How about a modern take on traditional music from around the world? You want the Republic of Strings. Look up the Psychograss quintet for its self-described “high-level daredevil bluegrass without a net.”

Then there’s Strings for Industry, and Newgrange, and Fiddlers 4, and Anger’s chamber-music work with Phil Aaberg, and so on and so on and so on. Presumably, the man also eats and breathes.

Or maybe Darol Anger saves time by eating and breathing music. Good time-management requires multi-tasking, you know.
