It is easy and convenient to discount the OM5 as slick manipulators of a jaundiced, racist recording system, churning out a production line of anaemic, soulless records. In truth, they were the torch bearers of freewheeling small group jazz in a time when the trend was for-ever larger, ponderous 'dance orchestras' purveying 'symphonic jazz'.
