from Mark Walker:
"Oregon News:
Glen Moore has chosen to permanently leave the group Oregon. He is acting on his long held desire to pursue his individual vision of music. He also wishes to spend more time with his family. While we will miss him we respect his decision and wish him well. The group will continue with two of the original members: Paul McCandless on oboe, english horn and saxophones; and Ralph Towner on guitars, piano and synthesizers. The percussionist Mark Walker, a member of the group for the past nineteen years will also continue to perform in the ensemble.
This has given us an opportunity to invite world renowned bassist Paolino Dalla Porta to join us on our Spring tour. Paolino has a long list of international credits and has recorded and toured with Paul on several projects in the past. He is very much in tune with the music of Oregon, and is very enthusiastic for the opportunity to join us.
- Ralph, Paul and Mark"
