learned today about the death of guitarist/pianist/composer Ralph Towner of jazz/world group Oregon. One of my all-time favorite groups, I remember trying to get ahold of every album I could in high school. All their albums are great, but I’ve been listening to some of my favorites tonight (in no particular order):

Moon and Mind
Distant Hills
Beyond Words
Northwest Passage
Live at Yoshi’s

come for the sitar and tabla and stay for the jazz oboe
