As a bassist for 60 years his sense of music lines never interfere with a simple melody but is always an enigma to wonder how he does it with such a cumin and fearlessness. Thank you Neil’s for giving us MUSIC.
With every recording I hear of NHOP I realise he's without a doubt the finest, most lyrical jazz bass player ever. I wish I had seen him before he passed.
Portrait of Tracy at 2:29? Asides from a perfect technique, intonation he is humble enough to take interest in modern electric players and be influence by it. I just love this man.
In Oslo, with Karin Krogh, in a place when Club 7 was out of place, in a basement somewhere. way back.I remember Karin asked Henning, what key? You sing and I play. Niels Henning was and is still the best.
He had to. Few people know this, but NHOP held Jaco in VERY high regard. And if anyone is ever going to do it justice on an upright, it really should be NHOP. But that's just my 2 cents. :)
He is quite the bass. Looking forward to meeting and jamming with him in the future. He feels the notes and tells us what they are, not just playing them.
Niels Pedersen, na opinião do próprio Oscar Peterson,e na minha modéstia opinião também, como jazzófilo, é o maior baixista acústico acústico do mundo!
Bass 'player.' 'Bassist.' Neither terms are adequate. NHOP is a human that a sentient & conscious double-bass had acquired in order to express itself to the human community. NHOP is the one able to express it.
What you say is all true, I think. Yet I prefer older bass players such as Percy Heath, Ray Brown and Charlie Haden. More grounded, down to earth. But NHOP was astonishing, I'll grant you that.
HI there Yes, we can only offer our own opinion. NHOP is arguably the best well founded player technically and theoretically. Doesn't mean to say that all other bass players are not fantastic. My own favourite (I have played the bass for nearly 40 years) is Pastorius, who can still make me cry. But I do respect NHOP's quality.
Oh, I realize it far too well!..But I don't think that's the case here at all,the best leaders are looking for the best sidemen they can find. And in most cases they've found people attuned to their music at home. Niels has established himself as an excellent sideman, ready to accompany anybody who hires him, but he hasn't shown commitment to any leader in particular except O.P. He also was concentrating on his virtuoso skills as a soloist and moving further away from group/time playing.
Surely, just your opinion, not sure what you mean by complete. So Ray Brown, PaulChambers, Scott LaFaro, Oscar Pettiford (just to name a few) were incomplete bass players, according to you?
Not sure what you mean by "technically and theoretically". To claim that someone is "best at everything" always seems a bit presumptuous to me.Do you claim to have heard every bassist in Jazz including those playing now? I do respect many NHOP qualities, but when it comes to my favorite bassists to listen to he simply isn't my first choice. And he obviously wasn't first choice for Miles, Coltrane, Bill Evans,Sonny Rollins and other important artists who made the Jazz History what it is today.

It makes my soul soar listening to this Master!

A virtuoso on the bass. Even Oscar listens in awe.
No words can describe this extraordinary musicality this beautiful musician has. My God.

I had the privilege of listening to NOP together with Grappelli in 1978-79 in the concert hall in Stockholm
The Maestro Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. As they say, you will never hear anything better.
In Oslo, with Karin Krogh, in a place when Club 7 was out of place, in a basement somewhere. way back.I remember Karin asked Henning, what key? You sing and I play. Niels Henning was and is still the best.
The true foundation of bass playing started with Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen.
Tillykke - Congrats....
'Portrait Of Tracy' quote at 2:30. Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen = one seriously killer bass player.
I like the references to "Spain" and Jaco's Portrait of Tracy.
amazing: treats base like one would a guitar. such a loss!! thanks
kinya
I forgot about the whole world for 6:06 minutes!
+izziOnBass Abso"Unique" Fab Bassist
For 5:30
Bach Cello Suite No. 1 at 4:33. Good Lord, he is too good.
2:27 oh no he didn't.
He had to. Few people know this, but NHOP held Jaco in VERY high regard. And if anyone is ever going to do it justice on an upright, it really should be NHOP. But that's just my 2 cents. :)
@ Jordarr... Right!!!! ❤❤❤
@@dmbassa👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
that TONE!!!!
Potrait of Tracy at 2:29. Awesomeee.
He is quite the bass. Looking forward to meeting and jamming with him in the future. He feels the notes and tells us what they are, not just playing them.
He died in 2005.
just great❤
glorious.
Virtuoso!! He evoke Jaco at 2:31 (Portrait Of Tracy harmonics)
Beautiful.
Niels Pedersen, na opinião do próprio Oscar Peterson,e na minha modéstia opinião também, como jazzófilo, é o maior baixista acústico acústico do mundo!
The guitarist seems to be Lee Ritenour, see 3:23...
Larry Grenadier brougt me here 😍

J. S. Bach quotation at 4:32, in case you didn't notice! (Cello suite no. 1)
The best of the best!!!
The best player of pizzicato double bass.
Great!!

The Best
Bass 'player.'
'Bassist.'

what a great sound nhop has. rip.

He's better than all of them period.
The Guitarist is Canadian, Lorne Lofsky.
That would be Ulf Wakenius on guitar
@@mikeball6485 Not unless they've swapped bodies & instruments...

Vedere Oscar Peterson applaudire Niels alla fine del solo , mi commuove
OLE OLE Y OLE

wowowowoow
yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Who's that on guitar? What's the line up? (Other Sir Oscar Peterson ;-))
You may not realize that some artists reject show stealing side men...
Surely, just your opinion, not sure what you mean by complete. So Ray Brown, PaulChambers, Scott LaFaro, Oscar Pettiford (just to name a few) were incomplete bass players, according to you?
Dang.
Says you...
where is this/date?
Jacob Jorgenson 1997
Jacob Jorgenson Sorry, 1992.
So Lars danielsons' suffering is just a cover?
