albob: oregon was a fine band--not just in themselves, but (for me) as a gateway band into much other stuff. i always liked walcott, from the snippets included in "on the corner" through the stuff with don cherry.
on the thread topic: there is a whole new generation of acoustic players starting to surface in what for some reason gets called "lowercase" or "reductionist" improvisation. polwechsel is a good intro to this world. highly controlled, very precise extended technique-based improvisation. often lovely stuff. polwechsel and fennesz, "wrapped islands" is an excellent place to start.
