This recording celebrates the 35th anniversary of the unique folk/jazz group Oregon. The group originals, which include a five-song "Monterey Suite" (the final five selections), each contain their unpredictable moments and feature the four musicians both in interplay with each other and as the lead. Paul McCandless, who is in particularly rewarding form, generally takes honors even though Ralph Towner wrote the majority of the selections. Overall, this is an excellent effort, a worthy addition to Oregon's rich discography. ~ Scott Yanow
