Darko - For some reason, when I e-mail the files to people they don't reliably come through in complete form. Is there someone on the list who will offer to...

I found this group off Towner's site too, and it's great to be in touch with other people who appreciate Towner's music. I've been going through the GSP book...

Dear friends, well-wishers, and the strangely attracted ... Please join me in welcoming that venerable and merry band of musicians, OREGON, featuring Ralph...
Saw a great show on Tuesday night at Portland's historical Aladdin Theater. I posted some photos from the concert in the photos section. One of the highlights...
Thanks for the photos; they turned out well. I especially like the shot of Ralph executing his unique brand of harmonics. I'm sure it was a memorable ...
you're a lucky man, phil. i think 'toledo' is rt's most beautiful composition - a masterful example of through-composition, achingly poignant, quietly...
Thanks. The only disappointment was that Ralph never played his 12 string guitar...not sure why. For me, his 12 string playing is one of the highlights of his...
Wow! Wish I was there... Never had the chance to see Ralph or Oregon... Would love to hear what that synth guitar sounds like... Like a keyboard you say? Heard...

Hey All Really cool live shows being torrented on dimeadozen.org at the moment. Early shows from '74, '77 and '78. With the Solstice Quartet as well as well...
When I opened for Oregon last month, Ralph and I had a chance to talk about certain songs of his that are very much songs without words. Three recent or new...
Fred, Thanks for the insight. An interesting composition tool, indeed. I have always been amazed at Ralph's skill at developing a cadence, melody or whatever...
Most interesting about your last post Fred was the fact that they've recorded a new album. Great News! I'm assuming is they recorded at Rainbow Studio with Jan...
It's not to be an ECM release - it's coming out on the Italian CAM Jazz label (who recently released wonderful new albums by Kenny Wheeler and Enrico...
I got to see Oregon when they came to Boston a couple of weeks back (been meaning to post a report), and I could swear that Paul said the new record was coming...
... I was there, too. I could have sworn that he said June. I still have 4 or 5 of their back catalog that I need to catch up on if it's not due 'til next...
... I have connections with Sunnyside, who distribute CAM in the US, and there's no mention of the new Oregon disc - there are two discs with Enrico Rava, but...

Does anyone know anything about "Duende" - a compilation I found on a newsgroup with lots of Ralph's greatest "hits"? I can't tell if it's a real compilation...
I first became a Ralph Towner fan in 1981 when I heard one song on the radio, "Juggler's Etude" from Five Years Later, Ralph's second and (apparently) last...
Alas, ECM has not issued it on CD, dispite regular cries from various quarters over the years. Your best bet is to try to find a good vinyl copy and transfer...
The disc was never released on CD unfortunately. While ECM is reviving its reissue series this fall with four titles, alas the Towner/Abercrombie is not one...
