This week, let's talk about one of the unheralded GIANTS of jazz bass: the great Oscar Pettiford, his life, and his music. Carrying the torch that Jimmy Blanton lit, OP would carry jazz bass into the modern age, helping to develop "Bebop" music, and creating one of the greatest voices the instrument has ever known. From Monk to Duke Ellington to Miles to Sonny Rollins to Stan Getz to Billie Holiday, OP played with just about everybody possible in Jazz, but has never gotten the due that his younger peers have gotten over the years. Join me and explore OP's history and greatness along with some of the incredible records he made at the peak of his short career in jazz.
