Tony Overwater

Born: March 24, 1965

Tony Overwater is one of those remarkable European bass players — a musician whose combination of profound musicianship, cultural curiosity, sense of tradition and artistic vision has formed him as versatile bass player, composer and organizer. He is a compelling solo performer, an imaginative composer, and an engaged sideman. Among his many accolades, he has received the prestigious Boy Edgar Prize and the Edison Award for Best Dutch Recording.

Overwater’s foundation is firmly in jazz, and his work has consistently expanded its boundaries. After his studies at the Royal conservatoire of the Hague with John Clayton, he was touring for several years with David and Sunny Murray. With his own band Scapes and later on Jungle Boldie he became a solid band leader as well.
