{"product_id":"oregon-beyond-words-one-step-lp-vinyl","title":"Oregon – Beyond Words (One-Step LP Vinyl)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOregon spent the better part of five decades quietly rewriting the rules of what acoustic improvisation could sound like, drawing from Indian classical, folk, and avant-garde jazz without ever announcing the seams. *Beyond Words*, recorded after the loss of founding percussionist Collin Wolcott, finds Towner, Moore, and McCandless channeling grief and resilience into something remarkably open and alive. Chesky's one-step pressing does justice to the trio's signature transparency of tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of their Chesky Original Masters reissue series, the audiophile label Chesky Records is releasing Oregon's Beyond Words. Ralph Towner on guitar and keyboards, bassist Glen Moore, and Paul McCandless (playing six different wind instruments) are featured at their most creative. Beyond Words features Oregon during a period when the group was a trio after the passing of percussionist Collin Wolcott. The unique band, which blended together modern jazz with rhythms, melodies and sounds inspired by the music of other cultures, was always unclassifiable and \"\"beyond words.\"\" Performing originals by Towner and Moore, Jim Pepper's famous \"\"Witchi-Tai-To,\"\" and a three-part free improvisation, the trio displays plenty of variety in moods (ranging from the whimsical to the somber), sounds (Towner's acoustic classical guitar contrasts with his work on synth), and instrumentation with McCandless featured on soprano, sopranino, oboe, bass clarinet, English horn, and penny whistle. Highlights include the driving, rollicking energy of \"\"Ecotopia,\"\" the playfully infectious groove of \"\"Pepé Linque,\"\" a classical-inspired rendition of \"\"Les Douzilles,\"\" and most notably, the trio delivers a deeply introspective version of \"\"The Silence Of A Candle.\"\" No matter the mood or the instrumentation, all of the performances on Beyond Words are as memorable and ascolorful as the group itself. The return of Oregon's Beyond Words is a very welcome event that will be cherished by fans of the band and their innovative music. The title will be reissued on SACD Hybrid Stereo and 180g One-step Pressing Vinyl LP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Rewind (4:34)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Ecotopia (7:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Green And Golden (5:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Pepé Linque (5:16)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Les Douzilles (9:38)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. The Silence Of A Candle (5:19)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Sicilian Walk (3:13)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Leather Cats (9:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Witchi-Tai-To (8:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4895241453342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chesky Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.18.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chesky Records (EVLP124BL)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA1 Rewind – 4:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA2 Ecotopia – 7:45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA3 Green And Golden – 5:04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA4 Pepé Linque – 5:16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB1 Les Douzilles – 9:38\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB2 The Silence Of A Candle – 5:19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB3 Witchi-Tai-To – 8:10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter Cho – A\u0026amp;R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlen Moore – Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul McCandless – Bass Clarinet, Oboe, Soprano Saxophone, Sopranino Saxophone, English Horn, Whistle (Penny Whistle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRalph Towner – Classical Guitar, 12-String Acoustic Guitar, Piano, Synthesizer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Kaye – Consultant (Technical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndrea Fusina – Coordinator (Production Assistants)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLisa Hershfield – Coordinator (Production Assistants)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Windmuller – Coordinator (Session Assistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Panagiotakis – Coordinator (Session Assistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoss Hudson – Design (Photo Collage + Design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiguel Kertsman – Editor, Mastered By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsier Leatxe – Engineer (Assistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeddins Etienne – Engineer (Assistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorman Chesky – Executive-Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScott Yanow – Liner Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Chesky – Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteve Guttenberg – Producer (Assistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShari Rothstein – Production Manager\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoy Spangenthal – Project Manager (Project Director)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBob Katz – Recorded By\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRay Conti – Tuner (Piano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54555170537790,"sku":"265099907","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/Oregon-Beyond-Words-180g-One-Step-Pressing-Vinyl.jpg?v=1791195868","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/oregon-beyond-words-one-step-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
