Oregon is an album by American jazz fusion band Oregon recorded in February 1983 and released on ECM later that year. The quartet features guitarist Ralph Towner, reed player Paul McCandless, bassist Glen Moore, and sitarist Collin Walcott.[1]

Reception and charting

[edit]

The album reached number twenty one on Billboards Jazz Albums and Top Jazz Albums charts.[2]

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 1½ stars, stating, "If this disc was supposed to signal a new direction in the band's development, somewhere along the line they slipped off track".[3]
