TONY OVERWATER GROUP

Ack van Rooyen-trumpet, Maarten Ornstein-saxophones, clarinets, Tony Overwater-double-bass, Wim Kegel-drums

VPRO/Boy Edgar prizewinner Tony Overwater is someone who approaches music with an open mind. He pairs an exquisite sense for the jazz tradition with a continuous view forward. Overwater’s treatment of all music, whether classics by Oscar Pettiford, (he was awarded an Edison in 2001 for his CD ‘OP’) poptunes or Arabic music, is marked by passion.
