1000 Kilometers
(2007)
more music like this
by
Oregon
Throughout their long existence, Oregon have consistently performed music that is difficult to categorize. Some of their acoustic ventures, particularly in the group's earlier days, could be considered "world jazz" or "folk-jazz" due to the unusual instrumentation, avoidance of conventional blue notes, and original pieces. On 1000 Kilometers, ...

Out of the Woods/Roots in the Sky

by
Oregon
After their productive stint with the Vanguard label, Oregon released two excellent LPs, recorded in 1978, for the Elektra label. Those sessions -- Out of the Woods and Roots in the Sky -- are reissued here on one CD. This was a prolific period for Ralph Towner as a composer, represented here by seven of the 18 tracks. It was also prior to Towner ...

45th Parallel
(1988)

by
Oregon
Oregon bothers jazz people because a) they're difficult to categorize, and b) they radiate endlessly cheerful vibes bordering on vacuous new age while maintaining a sharp improvisational edge. So goes this high-profile appearance on Columbia's spinoff label, which sometimes stays within the bounds of post-bop jazz yet is more likely to go veering ...

Winter Light

by
Oregon
If there was a "second best" recording from Oregon in their early years, this would be it. The concept of "Winter Light" certainly reflects the visage of the Pacific Northwest in the fourth season, yet it is a music, and time of year, filled with hope for the future while pondering a somewhat bleak present. Winter can be pleasant, bearable and ...

Vanguard Visionaries

by
Oregon
Oregon released nine albums between 1970 and 1978 for Vanguard, the first label to sign them. In its Vanguard Visionaries series (which is unattractive in its packaging, and sometimes lazy in its selections), the label picks ten tracks from three of those albums -- the classic second disc Music of Another Present Era, and its two follow-ups, ...

Vanguard Sessions: Best of the Vanguard Years
(2000)
more music like this
by
Oregon
It's a cliché to say that a band is "in a class by itself" or "defies categorization," but in the case of Oregon, those aren't empty clichés -- they're statements of fact. Oregon's style of jazz is quite unique; the band has always been difficult to categorize. You could call the 1970s recordings on The Best of the Vanguard Years fusion, but ...

Music of Another Present Era
(1972)

by
Oregon
Music of Another Present Era remains Oregon's most enduring masterwork. Achieving a perfect balance of musical traditions from the East and West, ancient to future, they set the stage not only for a new transculturalism in jazz, but also created a lasting template for the fusion of musics from world traditions that would flower over a decade later ...

With its combination of simple beauty and elegant intricacy, Oregon's Beyond Words truly is. This time out, the three surviving original members of Oregon perform as a drummerless trio, handling a variety of compositions old and new, primarily from the pen of Ralph Towner. Towner's multi-instrumental versatility highlights and undergirds the ...

Live at Yoshi's

Oregon
Oregon's storied past and relevance to jazz cannot be undermined. In addition, this outing signifies only the band's third live recording to coincide with its 30-year legacy. Besides Oregon's somewhat organic approach to jazz or world jazz, drummer Mark Walker adds pop, dazzle, and polyrhythmic fury to the ensemble's often-emotively actualized ...

This recording celebrates the 35th anniversary of the unique folk/jazz group Oregon. The group originals, which include a five-song "Monterey Suite" (the final five selections), each contain their unpredictable moments and feature the four musicians both in interplay with each other and as the lead. Paul McCandless, who is in particularly ...

While this collection does contain many of Oregon's best early works as "Aurora," "Tide Pool," "Margueritte," "Silence Of A Candle" and "Ghost Beads," it is missing other prime cuts. If "Canyon Song," "Song For A Friend," especially "Icarus," "Yet To Be" and "Witchi-Tai-To" were included, this would accurately be an essential collection of Oregon ...

A 1992 CD reissue of their 1979 album, among their only releases ever issued by a major label. It was characteristically free-wheeling and eclectic, with long stretches of classical, Asian, African, and jazz coming together, and the group mixing structured ensemble work with surging free solos.
