Roots is a more difficult and, at times, darker album than Woods. Walcott’s “House of Wax,” featuring his innovative sitar work, is a relatively simple concept, yet the piece remains a greater challenge. Towner’s brief and idiosyncratic “Orrington’s Escape” segues into Moore’s title track, another piece that builds from a simple but angular idea, finding Oregon at its most dynamic.

Still, Towner's energetic “June Bug” and broodingly open, clay pot-driven “Vessel” are as accessible as anything on Woods. Oregon would continue on after Walcott’s tragic death in 1984, but these two releases would raise the bar for everything that followed. (allaboutjazz.com)



This album is the 1979 companion album to the earlier Elektra release, Out Of The Woods, and has a similarly outstanding high-fidelity sound. All four musicians are in top form. Glen Moore gives perhaps his best recorded performance on bass on songs such as the self-penned "Roots In The Sky". Highlights are:
"June Bug" (fast-paced classical guitar line with bouncy oboe),
"Vessel" (starts out with a low-pitched drum that sounds like lava bubbling to the surface, then adds a laidback, slow-paced samba-style piano motif, then a jazzy bass clarinet midsection),
"Sierre Leone" (energetic acoustic percussion preluded by an atmospheric flute and flugelhorn passage),
"Ogden Road" (a very 'wavy' tune with several crescendos, has a descending 4/4 line with a latin piano/tabla mix, it first works towards a climax at the 2 minute mark, then after 3 minutes into the song changes to a flugelhorn interlude, then crescendos until the 5 minute mark, and after one last flurry, ends with the piano softly reprising the melody),
"House Of Wax" (bass and sitar interaction, also with some spiraling woodwind),
"Orrington's Escape" (short 49-second piece with an angular rhythm),
"Roots In The Sky" ( my favorite, has excellent bass and flugelhorn lines),
"Longing, So Long" (tabla/percussion fest with bass and 12-string guitar interspersed). (amazon.com)

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]buy mbt shoes[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt sneakers[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]mbt sandals[/B] more remarkable.

MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]mbt sandals[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]shoe for worked[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]MBT shoes[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]shoe for worked[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.

The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]mbt walking shoes[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]MBT[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.


These are pretty bold claims but there is no doubt that MBT shoes are [U]mbt sneakers[/U] popular both as recreation and sportswear. A study [U]mbt shoes cheap[/U] by Sheffield Hallam University recently concluded that MBT shoes were better for the knees ankles [U]MBT shoes[/U] than normal shoes. The study also concluded that if [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] you walk correctly you would take shorter strides while walking in MBTs. Shorter [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] strides would mean more steps and more expending of energy and this [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] would increase your calorie burn.
