"Oregon's 30th album since its founding in 1970 is an amalgam of sounds and musical attitudes: It melds earthy tones, sinuous melodies and subtle meters into improvisatory postcards that lure our imaginations from familiar waters into uncharted depths ... Good ship Oregon, pushing 50 with a modest patina, shines an honest lantern on jazz"

"Lantern is the pioneering 47-year-old crossover ensemble Oregon's 30th album, and features new takes on their soundscape of acoustic guitar and oboe delicacies propelled by firm basslines and dynamic percussion ... They still sound as if they know how to have some very sophisticated fun"
