Muy pocos aplausos para tan hermoso tema musical. Vamos a escuchar a la Banda Oregon. Chihuahua Dreams, Beneath an Evening Sky, Hand in Hand y muchos otros.

I've been listening to Towner's 'Solo Live'' album since I bought it in 1981. Performances in Munich and Zurich, I believe. His playing of Nardis on that album transcends.

Wonderful!

❤️❤️❤️

No title yet? May I suggest “The Prowler”? 😁 This takes me back to my junior year in college. ❤

Alta classe!

Maestro Ralph Towner is America's misunderstood composer...inmy honest opinion. May his compositions live on..for future generations. 🙏

Towner's a damn magician. Never seen an acoustic player who l felt was better.

Luthiery..ahem

Ralph..obtained a copy of your book on improvisation while working as a teacher of luthier in South Korea. .lost a girl friend at a concert because she did not appreciate your music...never saw her again..edmonton Alberta kanada 1984?

For me, this man is the master.

I bought a Ralph Towner teaching manual while teaching luthiery to a large music company in Pusan..(Busan?).Souh Korea..about improvisation...and at 70 yrs old multi instrumentalist..play in a septagenarian improvisational ensemble...the traditional Ukrainians hate us..we smell like shunks..hahaha

Signature, necessity, evocative. Beauty is beyond words.

Maestro!

No more sound 😢

Es como volver el tiempo de un suspiro y ver a mi papá estudiando con su guitarra y nosotros camino a la cama escuchando esta maravilla como canción de cuna las noche inolvidables de mi infancia escuchando música de verdad con alma vida y sobre todo soledad ❤

Joyful listening.

Excellent!

BIG fan of RTs time on ECM records

I saw him perform this beautiful ballad..his comment about it he said to bad it was wasted on its intent..ouch. Nice to hear this even thou..it has a undesirable history.

Wonderful to see him play this lovely song. Thank you!

A rare performance of this child's backslash...only Ralph Towner canturn something so simple into a bright and orginal composition. Bravo.

FANTÁSTICA

I obtained a copy of Ralph's book on improvisation while teaching violin repair and playing a violin concert in Taipei 1998.. Free Taiwan..lost a girl friend cuz a Oregon...dats anudder story.

野外での演奏 リラックスしてとても素晴らしい 音です。 ギターが音色が、心地よい

Such an interesting name for a piece of music! Apparently it was written for William Shakespeare's play the Tempest.

what does he want the cameras to do 2 mins in? They didn't do it@! No matter!@ Great performance!

I saw him many years ago. He blew us away with stuff like this for over an hour. Then he took a break and returned to do the same thing on the piano.

This piece, along with Andrew York’s Home are some of my favorite pieces.

Segovia would admonishes this bringing a guitar outdoors he would be appalled..me I would be thrilled but respectfully not to take pictures or record any of it,only to preserve it for memories to come.Beloved Ralph Towner.

A iconic jazz standard, Maestro Ralph Towner seems to almost make it is own.Wonderful.

To see this performance is just real treat his material was still young but it showed his attention to it being played in many ways as a percussive instrument but also very much in the manner as a pianist would melodic. And now in his 80's he has progressed even more a true American treasure.

¿Existe el concierto completo? De antemano, muchas gracias.

super

I lost..er..was abandonded by a lovely gal because I bought her a ticket to see my favourite band..and shortly after the concert began..she leaned over ...and asked me...if we could leave...I said no..I'm staying..do what you wish...never saw the goldigger again..God is great.

MUY HERMOSO.

Ralph is one of the brilliant minds of modern age...no doubt about this. Thank you MR. Towner for what you have given us & the world itself 🙏

Ralph is a badass. Brilliant musician, composer and owner of a very tasteful arrangements.

Excellent improvisational playing after the intro.!!!maestro Ralph Towner.

Speechless. ♥️

There are not ENOUGH "Likes" on KZbin to honor this Musician. There should be "LOVES" to give this Man! This Genius! - and This POET of Sound! At the end of the day - The TRUE Musicians are Humble, and don't call attention to THEMSELVES! They are in the Service of Something "Higher", and more Sublime than the pool of crassness, and vulgarity This "World" swims in. Ralph Towner is G.O.A.T!

I was searching for many versions of the piece Nardis, as one of my favorite numbers that's performed often by Bill Evans at the end of his live performances. I was pleasantly surprised to look the number up in Wikipedia and saw that it mentioned all the other musicians that have played it, other than the Miles Davis composition of it in 1958, which was originally written by Davis for Cannonball Adderley. I see many of the people leaving favorable comments about Ralph Towner, and I appreciate this greatly. My younger brother bought a lot of albums by the famous group Oregon, created by Ralph Towner in the early 1970s. Your music was always a masterfully performed and especially with Towner's lead in the group. I was in my early twenties when I first discovered my brother buying the group Oregon records. Oregon matured my understanding of world and jazz music greatly. My remembrance of one great experience about Ralph Towner, was when my wife and I were driving through our hometown of downtown Portland one day, I believe it was in the early 1990s. It was a live stage performance of music in the central city Pioneer Courthouse Square, on a beautiful sunny day. We decided to stop, and walk over and watch it. This was the only time I've ever seen Ralph Towner perform live with his group Oregon. Glenn Moor was on stand up woodwind base, and either Colin Walcott or Paul McCandless on percussion and flute or tenor saxophone. As they were taking a break and I saw, Ralph Towner standing behind the stage relaxing, I decided to walk back and speak with him briefly. I had to introduce myself express my great appreciation for his music that my brother played a lot of on our stereo at home for years. I also expressed that his performance with his group Oregon backing up the famous album by Larry Coryell - The Restful Mind, was spectacular work by Towner and the rest of the group Oregon. I asked Ralph what he thought of playing with Larry Coryell. He said Larry came over in the studio that day it was in either New Jersey or New York and Larry was rather hyped up on some stimulant, and he said, Coryell said, now you're going to be in the right track and I'm in the left track and just don't try to outplay me, this is my album, man! I then asked Ralph what he would recommend if I had never bought an album by the group Oregon, or if he had a favorite album of theirs. He recommended that I buy their album titled, Blue Sun. I thanked him and went back to listen to the rest of the live concert which was excellent. I was so glad to get to meet Ralph Towner, and here his story of playing with Larry Coryell, which is also another one of my favorite jazz guitarists.

Fra i più grandi, la sua commistione fra classico e moderno e' fra le espressioni più eminenti, la sua statura compositiva e il suo grado stilistico esemplari. Musicista e chitarrista si fondono per dare luogo a suggestioni fra le più elevate. Artista e professionista di grande levatura e spessore . Emozionante
