A 1983 album by Oregon, the acclaimed group formed by Ralph Towner, Collin Walcott, Glen Moore, and Paul McCandless, responsible for numerous outstanding works of ethno-jazz. Released after the group moved from Elektra to ECM, the album captures Oregon at one of their most mature and refined stages, and feels like a work that was truly destined for the ECM catalogue. A3 is a particularly beautiful piece of spiritual ethno-jazz, with McCandless’ flute floating through the space while Walcott’s percussion creates a remarkable sense of depth. Throughout the album, Oregon’s organic musical vision is expressed with exceptional clarity and balance. Another major attraction is the extensive use of the Prophet-5 analog synthesizer played by Towner, adding a subtle electronic dimension to the group’s acoustic sound world. Original German pressing.
