[#1] Tony Overwater - "OP" The search of good jazz on SACD has brought me to a small Dutch audiophile record label called “Turtle Records”, which has a very small selection of fine jazz, as well as classical offerings. The title ‘OP’ is actually the nickname of Oscar Pettiford, a not very well known bassist said to be of the highest caliber and ingenuity, and like many other fine musicians, left this world way too early at the age of only 37. According to the liner note, Pettiford played with masters like Monk, Hawkins, Roach, Herman and Ellington, so I guess his musical resume had more than enough credentials. The disc contains music mainly of a trio format, with drums, saxophone and of course Overwater’s bass, also with cello and flugelhorn on three or four tracks. All of the tracks were compositions of Pettiford except a couple written by others, fans who love jazz of the 50’s and the 60’s should have no problem appreciating the music, which are filled with good rhythm, and fine solo sections and importantly solos that were not overdone. Arrangement of the music is refreshing while keeping the traditional sound of jazz, musicians were also of very high standard. To me, it doesn’t contain any surprise or tunes that will make you yell out for more, but they were fine music for a night’s enjoyment. In terms of recording, there was earlier threads from a gentleman who has working relations with Turtle Records commenting that it was recorded in pure DSD, despite that the liner note said that it was a 24/192 recording, using all dCS equipment ( I did write to Turtle but got no reply). Nonetheless, it’s got great hall-like ambience and I would imagine, very little in the way of sound ‘tuning’, it was smooth and sweet, the double bass also got good weight, while not ‘slamming’. Similar with recordings from Chesky, the recorded volume is lower than other CDs so you might have to turn your gear a bit louder to enjoy it fully, at least in my case. Some tunes are just very FINE for a candle light dinner with your love ones. Recommended. |
