At the core of an Oregon concert is a joyful embracing of adventure, a willingness by four virtuoso improvisers to expose their creative processes to an audience. Rooted in jazz, but drawing from musical wellsprings all around the world, the quartet aspires to transcend its sources and create compelling, new music with every performance.

In Oregon’s own words: “Family Tree is dedicated not only to the immediate families of each of us, but also to the extended family of listeners, producers, technicians, and all that have supplied the encouragement and help that have kept us thriving. Our dedication to the expansion and improvement of our music-making is the fruit of this care and the trust placed in us.”
The jazz heard in Family Tree has the colors and the aroma of the Mediterranean, a European flow, which gives life to an emotional journey into the world of Oregon.
