Bassist
Kieran Overs has been active on the Toronto jazz scene since the mid 1970s. Although a popular sideman,
Overs has received critical success for the writing in his own larger ensembles. As a soloist on his own recordings, he tends to favour a style similar to
Charlie Haden, a modern approach that reaches through the changes in search of more pure melodies. As a sideman,
Overs has worked with a wide variety of players, including;
Chet Baker,
Sonny Stitt,
Zoot Sims,
Kenny Wheeler,
Don Pullen,
Barry Harris, and
Harold Mabern.
Overs also performs outside the jazz genre; working extensively with
Roger Whittaker. ~ Dan Cross
