- Oregon is a jazz and world music group, with core members Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless, Glen Moore, and Collin Walcott Towner, McCandless, Moore, and Walcott met as members of world music pioneer Paul Winter's "Consort" ensemble in the late 1960s. Their contributions were seminal in establishing the Winter Consort "sound" in compositions like Towner's "Icarus. " The four musicians broke away from Winter in 1970 to form their own group, Oregon (Towner and Moore met while students at the University of Oregon). They recorded their first record in 1970, but the label, Increase Records, went out of business before it could be released. (It was released by Vanguard in 1980 as Our First Record. ) The group's first release was Music of Another Present Era in 1972. With that debut and its follow-ups Distant Hills and Winter Light (all on Vanguard), Oregon established itself as one of the leading improvisational groups of its day, blending Indian and Western classical music with jazz, folk, space music and avant-garde elements. The group released numerous albums on Vanguard throughout the 1970s, then made three records for Elektra. After a couple years hiatus devoted to their individual projects, the group resumed recording for ECM in 1983. During a 1984 concert tour, Walcott was killed in an automobile accident in East Germany. Oregon temporarily disbanded, but reformed by 1987 to record Ecotopia (its final album for ECM) with new percussionist Trilok Gurtu. Gurtu made two further records as a member of the group, but by 1993 he had left; the group recorded two albums as a trio after his departure. With new member Mark Walker on drum kit, Oregon assumed a more conventional jazz orientation beginning with the 1996 album Northwest Passage. In 2001 the ensemble traveled to Moscow, Russia to record with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio. The recording garnered four Grammy nominations. The group enjoys an avid and eclectic following. Apollo astronauts took a recording of Oregon's music to the moon and named two lunar craters after compositions by the ensemble "Icarus" and "Ghost Beads".

- Oregon è un gruppo che suona musica jazz e world music. I componenti storici del gruppo sono Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless, e Glen Moore. Towner, McCandless, Moore, e Collin Walcott si incontrarono con il pioniere della world music Paul Winter e diedero vita, allla fine degli anni 60 al Paul Winter Consort. Il loro contributo fu determinante alla creazione del Winter Consort sound in composizioni quali Icarus di Ralph Towner. Nel 1970 i quattro musicisti si separarono da Winter e formarono un proprio gruppo, Oregon, dal nome dell'università (Oregon University dove Towner e Moore studiavano e si erano conosciuti). Registrarono il primo album nel 1970, ma la casa discografica fallì prima della pubblicazione del disco che fu pubblicato dalla Vanguard Records nel 1980 con il titolo Our First Record. Il primo disco pubblicato dal gruppo fu Music of Another Present Era nel 1972. Fu seguito da Distant Hills e Winter Light con i quali gli Oregon si affermarono come uno dei gruppi più importanti di musica improvvisata, in grado di mescolare la musica classica indiana con la musica classica dell'occidente con il jazz, il folk, la space music e il jazz d'avanguardia. Il gruppo registrò numerosi album con la casa discografica Vanguard per tutti gli anni 70 e successivamente pubblicarono tre album con la Elektra. Dopo un paio di anni nei quali ciascuno si dedicò a progetti personali, il gruppo si ricostituì nel 1983 e registrò con la ECM. Durante un tour musicale in Germania Est nel 1984, Collin Walcott rimase ucciso in un incidente stradale. A seguito di ciò gli Oregon si sciolsero per ricostituirsi nel 1987 per registrare Ecotopia (l'ultimo album con la ECM) con un nuovo percussionista, Trilok Gurtu. Gurtu registrò due ulteriori album come membro del gruppo, ma nel 1993 si separò conseguenza il gruppo registrò due album, come trio. con un nuovo membro alle percussioni, Mark Walker, gli Oregon cominciarono a suonare un jazz più convenzionale a iniziare dall'album Northwest Passage del 1996. Nel 2001 il gruppo si recò a Mosca per registrare con la Moscow Tchaikovsky Orchestra. L'album ebbe quattro nomine al Grammy Award. Il gruppo ha un seguito molto vasto di sostenitori. Gli astronauti dell'Apollo portarono la loro musica sulla luna e diedero a due crateri lunari il nome di due composizioni degli Oregon, "Icarus" and "Ghost Beads".
- Oregon är en jazz och world music-musikgrupp med ursprungsmedlemmarna Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless och Glen Moore. Towner, McCandless, Moore och Collin Walcott möttes som medlemmar i world music pionjären Paul Winters "Consort" ensemble i slutet av 1960-talet. Deras bidragande till gruppen blev deras nyskapande ton i bandets "sound", i kompositioner som Towners "Icarus". 1970 sig de fyra musikerna loss från Winter för att skapa sin egen grupp, Oregon (Towner och Moore möttes redan då de var studenter vid University of Oregon). De spelade in sitt första album 1970, men skivbolaget, Increase Records, lades ner innan skivan hann ges ut. (Den gavs ut av Vanguard år 1980 som Our First Record. ) Gruppens första album blev istället Music of Another Present Era och släpptes 1972. Med det albumet och dess uppföljare Distant Hills och Winter Light (alla på Vanguard) etablerade Oregon sig som en av de ledande improvisationella gruppen under sin tid; blandade klassisk indisk och västerländsk musik med element inom jazz, folk, space music och avant-garde. Gruppen gav ett antal album på Vanguard genom hela 1970-talet och gjorde sedan tre album för Elektra. Efter ett antal år av uppehåll, då de alla höll på med soloprojekt, återuppstod gruppen 1983 för att spela in det självtitlade albumet Oregon för ECM. Under deras 1984 års konsertturné avled Walcott i en bilolycka i Östtyskland. Oregon splittrades tillfälligt med återförenades 1987 för att spela in skivan Ecotopia (deras sista skiva för ECM) med den nya percussionisten Trilok Gurtu. Gurtu spelade in ytterligare två album men lämnade gruppen 1993. Oregon spelade in två album som en trio efter Gurtus lämnande av gruppen. Med deras nya medlem Mark Walker på trummor antog Oregon en mer traditionell jazz med början på deras album Northwest Passage från 1996. 2000 reste gruppen till Moskva för att spela in skivan Oregon in Moscow med Moscow Tchaikovsky Orchestra. Skivan fick fyra Grammy-nomineringar.
