After a couple years hiatus devoted to their individual projects, the group resumed recording for ECM in 1983. During a 1984 concert tour, Walcott was killed in an automobile accident in East Germany . Oregon temporarily disbanded, but reformed by 1987 to record ''Ecotopia'' (its final album for ECM) with new percussionist Trilok Gurtu . Gurtu made two further records as a member of the group, but by 1993 he had left; the group recorded two albums as a trio after his departure. With new member Mark Walker on drum kit, Oregon assumed a more conventional jazz orientation beginning with the 1996 album ''Northwest Passage''. RECORDINGS
