Have loved these guys since the Paul Winter days...ain't classifiable, just great music. Towner is inspired and loves his craft. Great compositions...beauty. thanks!!
I started listening to Oregon in 7th grade. What a discovery! Icarus was the theme song for Pete Fornatel's Sunday show on WNEW in NYC. I am sitting on a farm in Tallahassee recalling all the great music by Oregon. Timeless.
Thanks so much for posting this! I am just getting used to TH-cam, and finding the music of one of my all-time favorite groups is rewarding. I met Ralph Towner many years ago in Seattle, and would run into him there occasionally. You never met a sweeter, more humble man...despite his immense talents.
Thank you for posting these., Oregon was one of the first groups that changed my perspectives of jazz. Ralph Towner is definitely right up there Coltrane,Davis,Metheny,McLaughlin,Correa,etc.I have a 24 bit remastered C.D. of Oregons debut Album w/Paul McCandless,Collin Walcott and Glen Moore. I am 53 yrs. old, but I cried when I found it. Thanks again....Danny.
I saw Oregon play @ Birdland last winter. I was right up front and what an experience! To watch Ralph Towner play was awesome. And I learned that Glen Moore(the bassist) wears toe socks because he prefers to be shoeless,lol!
Fantastic! One of the greatest groups ever. Anyone who likes Oregon should also check out the "Silent Feet" album by Eberhard Weber on ECM. Also McCandless plays on Mark Isham's best album "Castalia."
Fantastic group; I used to see them fairly regularly, but in recent years, somehow miss any notice of their shows. I gotta get back in the loop! Great video; thanks for the inspiration!
Greg Vinson old comment, but worth a reply ... Ralph tours mostly in Europe ... the band will do a US tour about every two years as of late, and it will be a tour with limited dates ... log onto the Oregon website for current tour plans, if any.
What's cool about Towner is the otherwise uninhabited improvisational space he has created. On guitar, for example, I've heard lots of greats, and among them there are many shared stylings, but haven't heard anyone else who plays quite like Ralph Towner. Influenced galore lurk, but he's an original!
These guys got their start backing Paul Winter when he first came out. THE CONSORT in it's humble beginnings... then they named themselves Oregon and the rest as they say is history.
No sé si será porque vengo tocando el oboe unos cuantos añitos ya.. y siempre he tenido que sufrir las críticas de otros músicos de otros instrumentos que se les llena la boca de falsa razón cuando dicen que el oboe no es un instrumento para tocar música actual.. que suena a pato que .. etc... en fin ya muchos de vosotros os sabréis de memoria esta película. Con el hecho de mostrar este vídeo a alguna de esas personas, les hice cambiar de parecer.. y esque es fascinante, es increíble simplement
Where is the one off of the original Oregon record? Ralph Towner played a twelve sting on that and it was incredible. Also Larry Coryell was taking music in another direction as well when he mentioned Ralph Towner in an interview. Larry asked the classical guy at the time if he had ever heard of Ralph Towner (?) The classical purist journalist said no. The name of the magazine was "Guitar Magazine" with Larry playing the Hagstom on stage on the front cover.
@guyroeeandbuzi His name is Ralph Towner. Over a dozen albums on ECM. Came to international prominence for his intro to 'The Moors' on Weather Report's 2nd album.
Il 21 ottobre 2010 saranno al JAZZ & WINE OF PEACE XIII Edizione Cormòns (GO), Teatro Comunale. Perchè mai proprio noi che abitiamo in questo pezzetto d' Europa incastrato tra Italia, Austria e Slovenia ce li dovremmo perdere?

@cr1msonking93 Why would any person's (s') age have to do with the ability to discern great music? Wouldn't it just be inate to any individual simply by listening and watching, and then simply comparing it to the tripe you hear in everyday life? It should be automatic to anyone of any age.
I wish a requirement to be a cameran man was to be an amateur guitar player. Every time the guitar plays something interesting the camera is showing something else.

I've loved Oregon for decades. Paul McCandless' playing here is phenomenal.
Best jazz oboist of all time. Period.
I have followed these guys for a long time. They are so fabulous.
Seamless, intricate, sophisticated, tight, beautifully delivered.

Miss them, saw Glenn playing bass in a library in Portland in 1992 so beautiful.....
I got to see them in Hawaii back in late 80's. So lucky to see the original member in live.
I saw this yesterday night on German TV - Very nice concert!
One of the best bands ever!

this is clasical! our grand children will listen and injoy!
Great performance. I saw them live several years ago without the percussionist (thus the trio). What a great band. Thank you so much for posting this.
I discovered this amazing band back in the 1980's when I bought their "Distant Hills" LP.
Tra i più grandi di sempre: un livello tecnico di eccellenza ed una capacità di trasmettere emozioni che ha pochi rivali.
Wow! What energy, they all sound great.
Maravilloso Oregon. Vimos hace unos años a Ralph Towner en Córdoba, Argentina
Ah I saw them live a 2 a month ago... fantastic! nostalgic.
Fab! Thank you Christian for the uploads of Oregon.
Clásicos. Muchas gracias por compartir.
My God I love Oregon have loved will love I hope
these guys are awesome
i saw them in '78 or '79 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco; great show!
thankx a million for that...

Que grande es Oregon, creo que tengo todos los CD's lo que he podido encontrar.
Espero que algún día se enteren que Chile existe...

Hay-soos H. Chrisko... Ralph is incredible. They are all incredible.
Oregon´s legacy is huge

You'll find it on "Ectopia," not as long, I still think it's fun. As for Ectopia, EXCELLENT album - hope you enjoy it!
superbe !
Super band!
I like Oregon and Third Ear Band. Why don't young people listen this music field ?
❤
Glen Moore is my uncle!
