I am wondering why this album is barely known to the PA community?

Style-wise, the Together is definitely not "rocky" at all (thankfully!). And it's jazzier than many, if not most other Oregon records I can think of. In this album, Oregon are fusing together the sonic language and the sensibilities of the post-bop jazz with with their favorite exotic "world folk" sounds and rhythms .. and finely tune the whole assembly to oscillate at the frequency of the classic electric fusion.

How they are doing this, I can't say, but the result is quite spectacular.

I highly recommend this to everyone who likes fusion "with a twist", or avant-gaardish, but not crazy contemporary jazz with additional structure and dimension to it.
