    Let's get one thing straight from the outset: Oregon is not nor were they Ever a "New Age" group. There is nothing saccahrinely simple or cloyingly pretty about this music - it is harmonically complex, rhythmically interesting and melodically uncliched. I have never understood why this band came to be labeled in such a facile and flagrantly inaccurate way. Along with bandleader Paul Winter (and coming from a completely different place,) Miles Davis, they were the true godfathers of what's come to be known as world jazz. Not to mention important contributors to 3rd stream music.

    Think about it: who else was effortlessly combining western classical, Indian and African music so effectively and organically in 1970?! This was before Weather Report, Mahavishnu, Return to Forever etc, and on top of that, at the time they were doing it all acoustically. Which set them apart from the fusion movement and may be largely responsible for the unfortunate mislabeling and consequent misperception of the group. The point is, Oregon was first and foremost a group of fearless risk-taking improvisers with a solid jazz (and classical) background. On top of that, they were good composers.

    I happen to like the early Vanguard Oregon albums. I grew up listening to them and while I still appreciate the band in its later incarnations with Trilok and later, Mark Walker, there is something undeniably special about what Colin Walcott brought to the band. Colin's abilities on tablas, along with his flexibility and sense of percussive colors remain unparalleled. True, Trilok was technically the better tabla player and a fine extended percussionist, but he wasn't as sensitive and intuitive about colors or nearly as understated as Colin. It's sort of like the Beatles: true there were better drummers out there, but Ringo was The Man for the job. And on top of that, Colin was a decent sitar player (Ravi Shankar said he had the potential to be great,) which was an important component of Oregon's early distinctive world jazz sound. When Colin passed, a certain vibe left the band forever-it was the end of an era. Yes, with Mark Walker on trap set and percussion, the band could now explore more straight ahead grooves, but something was lost and gained. All too often, later Oregon records sounded more generic, more like everybody else in the jazz fusion world. (This was augmented by the fact that McCandless chose to feature himself on soprano sax more than on double reeds for a more mainstream approach.)

    This first album was recorded back in 1970 for a fledgling label with a big vision, but sadly, never got off the ground. Recorded on an 8 track system on "The Farm", a sort of hippie commune owned by friends of Walcott, it was held back from release until 1980. It disappeared pretty quickly until it was re-released on CD briefly in 2007. It is once again hard to come by.

    This is not a demo tape - it is a fully realized, well produced and surprisingly good sounding recording of a group that had already fully formed its musical identity. In fact, both Canyon Song (Distant Hills,) and Margueritte (Music From another Present Era,) would be re-recorded and released on subsequent albums.

    I have come to this album after listening to Oregon for some 47 years. I have gotten to know Paul McCandless (he even played on my first album.) It is a great pleasure to discover a missing Oregon album from the original formation. The guys apparently had a lot of affection for this recording, which they called the "California tapes." It's easy to see why- it's easily as good as any of the official first albums.
    Unfortunately this album is once again out of print. It is worth seeking out. Highly recommended, especially for fans of the original acoustic incarnation of the band.
