Oscar Pettiford - Oscar Rides Again

Deluxe four CD set. Oscar Pettiford was undoubtedly the most talented Jazz bassist of the BeBop era. He was also the first musician to adapt the pizzicato bass style to the cello. Pettiford's beautiful intonation and amazing mobility on the contrabass and cello can be heard within the 80 tracks on this set. Pettiford became an all-time king of Jazz, the most talented Jazz bassist of the BeBop era, his mobility on the bass was consistently amazing. His wonderfully propulsive bass playing told a story as only Oscar Pettiford could, but somehow one feels that, like Kenny Clarke, Oscar Pettiford has never truly been given his due. Proper Deluxe.
