Born: 23 November 1929 in Hilversum, Netherlands.
Died: 30 November 1995 in Hilversum, Netherlands (aged 66).
One
of the most important Dutch jazz guitarist of his generation. After
trying the violin, soon switching to guitar and starting his varied
career as a self-taught guitarist in Amsterdam, later working for the
American forces in Germany, touring the Netherlands with pianist Pim
Jacobs and singer Rita Reys, and finally he established himself as a
studio musician and guitar teacher in Hilversum.
His
sophisticated playing has gone largely unnoticed with a larger audience,
especially since the introverted guitarist didn't show any interest in
appearing or in the business aspects of the music world. The few albums
he recorded as a leader are largely in easy listening genre.
It
wasn't until after his death that Blue Jack Jazz Records released some
of his jazz concerts on CD. Overgaauw's playing also lives on in the
host of students he taught at the Hilversum Conservatory, including
Jesse Van Ruller, Martijn van Iterson, and Maarten Van Der Grinten, et
al.
