Lantern is the thirtieth album by American world music/jazz group Oregon featuring Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless, Paolino Dalla Porta, and Mark Walker recorded in November 2016 and released on the CAM Jazz label in 2017.[1] It is the first Oregon record to feature bassist Palino Dalla Porta, who replaced Oregon's founding member Glen Moore in 2015.
Reception
On June 26, 2017, All About Jazz critic John Kelman wrote: "Lantern makes clear that... Oregon remains as effortlessly surprising and holistically inimitable as it's ever been." Regarding the band's new bassist, Kelman remarked: "...while the influx of new blood has altered the group's complexion to some extent, it remains a group that sounds like no other. Simply put: Lantern remains an album that could be made by no-one else but Oregon."[2]
