Oregon came together in 1971 after Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless, Glen Moore and Collin Walcott all left Paul Winter’s Consort, having playing together on the saxophonist’s ‘Road’ album from the previous year. Walcott was tragically killed in a German autobahn accident whilst on tour with the band in 1984, and Moore left in 2015, but Towner and McCandless are still together (although considerably less prolific in the studio and no longer touring). From the 1978 album ‘Out Of The Woods’, the first album of theirs that I owned, this is ‘Cane Fields’, with McCandless on oboe, Towner guitar, Moore bass and Walcott percussion.
