Towner (pictured) has recorded more than two dozen albums as a solo artist on ECM records, going back to the early 1970s, and also is one of the co-founders of the long-running band Oregon.
A capable pianist as well as a guitarist, Towner was an original member of the pioneering world-fusion group Paul Winter Consort and early in his career recorded with the likes of Weather Report, Larry Coryell, and Jan Garbarek, but these days may be best known for his solo shows playing acoustic guitar.
His most recent recordings, a solo album called My Foolish Heart on ECM, and Oregon's latest, Lantern, on the Italian label CAM Jazz, both were released in 2017. Towner last played in St. Louis in February 2017 at the 560 Music Center.
