This album has been very important for me. It's basically an "easy listening" album (of which Wim was not very proud) but personally, I think it is one of the finest albums in this particular genre available on the planet, on a par with Wes' efforts in this field. It was recorded in the early 70s. I first heard "Collage" in the late 80s and I I remember playing the CD over and over and over again. Beautifully orchestrated and very very fine jazz guitar playing all around. Beautiful sound of the guitar to boot! A lush recording.If I remember correctly, Martijn van Iterson agrees with me totally on this album.
Listen to this guys. It's a real gem. And it finally made its way to the Tube for you to enjoy.
If you look beyond the "easy listening" label this album carries, you are in for a treat!
Here's the complete playlist of that classic Overgaauw album. Wim would probably surprised I like this one best of all his work!

Vincent Koning turned me on to Wim. Loved him once I heard him, especially on a date he made with Ferdinand Povel.
He was a real in the moment improviser and should be better known...

this also seems like a good moment to say farewell, and fade back into lurking again.
