Through bad data-management on my part I have lost what I shall call the “Aksak collection” of Towner tramscriptions. It’s basically one of the various ...
Hi all, While OT to some, since all these lists have at least some folks interested in the goings-on at ECM, I thought there'd be enough interest to post to...

Given that Copland and Towner's "Songs Without End" is out of print, here's the "Nardis" from that album. Please seek out the whole album, and buy it if it...
Hi all, For the non-ECM lists this may seem OT to provide a link to Manu Katché's new disc, Playground: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=26784. ...
Hi, I'd like to introduce both Oregon and Ralph Towner to a school friend some 30 years kept us apart. I am surprised that he did not listened to both since he...

Hi Ed, Thanks for your fast reply. My initial choices (for RT) were Solstice and New friends, old friends. So, I guess I am not "way out in the field"... But...
Orergon: Out of the Woods (out this year as a double with the more challenging Roots in the Sky) - Oregon at its most accessible I'd say Towner: a couple: Solo...
Here's my suggestions -- but your mileage may vary! Oregon: Out of the Woods is my hands-down choice for introducing anyone to Oregon. It worked for me, the...
Though I've been a fan for years I actually prefer the newer stuff, especially where Oregon is concerned, e.g., Northwest Passage and Prime (I've yet to find...

I wanted to weigh in (as usual, a bit late) on the "Intro to Ralph and Oregon" thread with two that I'm not sure I saw mentioned, and agree with the other: 1....
Hi Mike, As soon as I heard Oregon, way back in 1975, I got all the Paul Winter consort records on LP... Do you remember those big and black vinyls? ;-) I...
