(Post-Bop, Folk Jazz) Ralph Towner - Коллекция - 1973-2017 (22 альбома) (w/ Glen Moore, Gary Burton, John Abercrombie, Gary Peacock, Paolo Fresu, Wolfgang Muthspiel, Slava Grigoryan), MP3, 320 kbps

Один из отцов-основателей легендарной группы "Oregon" Ральф Таунер (Ralph Towner, 1.03.1940, Chehalis, WA, USA) входит в число немногих современных джазовых музыкантов, специализирующихся только на акустической гитаре. Его игра весьма своеобразна, часто выходит за пределы консервативного джаза и тяготеет к "world" музыке. В трехлетнем возрасте Ральф начал играть на пианино, а в пять лет - на трубе. Когда ему исполнилось 13, он уже играл в танцевальных ансамблях. Классическое образование по классу гитары он получил в Вене и середины 60-х играет в составе классического камерного ансамбля. После переезда в Нью-Йорк в середине в 1969 году, он работал с Джимми Гаррисоном, Джереми Стейгом и Полом Винтером в составе группы "Winter Consort" (1970-71). В последней, - он познакомился с другими участниками: Коллинзом Уолкотом, Гленом Мур и Полом МакКендлесс (Collin Walcott, Glen Moore, Paul McCandless).
В 1971 году они покинули коллектив и создали группу "Oregon". Это была очень разносторонняя группа, которая играла музыку от джаза и свободной импровизации до фолка. Таунер (который принимал участие в записи альбома Weather Report в 1971-м и немного играл с Гари Бартоном в течение 1974-75) интенсивно выступал и записывался с группой "Oregon" с момента ее формирования и кроме этого записывался как бэнд-лидер со многими другими музыкантами на лейбле ECM.
