Oregon • Northwest Passage

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
Oregon's first recording in a while features the three surviving original members (Ralph Towner on guitar and keyboards, bassist Glen Moore, and Paul McCandless, who switches between soprano, English horn, sopranino, oboe and bass clarinet) with either Arto Tuncboyaciyan or Mark Walker on percussion. They perform 14 originals that usually avoid blue notes, making the music sound very folk-oriented. There is plenty of variety in the atmospheres, and the consistently intriguing music should appeal to many listeners, including those who are into mood music, world music or folk songs in addition to jazz.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
La primera grabación de Oregon en un tiempo presenta a los tres miembros originales supervivientes (Ralph Towner a la guitarra y los teclados, el bajista Glen Moore y Paul McCandless, que alterna entre soprano, corno inglés, sopranino, oboe y clarinete bajo) con Arto Tuncboyaciyan o Mark Walker a la percusión. Interpretan 14 originales que suelen evitar las notas azules, haciendo que la música suene muy orientada al folk. Las atmósferas son muy variadas, y la música, siempre intrigante, debería atraer a muchos oyentes, incluidos los aficionados a la música ambiental, la música del mundo o las canciones populares, además del jazz.
