The Danish interviews in its essence: (a brief summary far from perfect, but I hope its a little helpfull) NHØP started early when he was 15 he was already an amazing bassplayer both technically and when it comes to groove and rhytm, he could swing, His great sense of rhytm inspired other bassplayer and the band he played with. Hes feel for jazz was amazing even at a very early age. The roots for him was moderne jazz and bebop, and soloist and sideman be was amazing. Onn apersonal level he was freindly and became the leading figure and arranger in many groups, he palyed many genres and was a very dedicated professional. NHØP said: "expressive ballads are not easy to play but that is my ambition" He became freinds with Ben Webster, Kenny Drew and Ray PItt, who inspired him a lot both musically and on a personal level. In 1973 "The tranquility of the woods" was considered humorous and sweeet, tyhat is wrong, NHØP was not such a respected musician that he could do his own thing. ( "The tranquility of the woods" became a hit some find it very very Danish and folksy, the tune is actually German) He travelled a lot. Touring 6 month pr year was a rough life. NHØP says. He could be very direct if ppl who played wrong notes or made errors. . Why Oscar PEterson alliance? Well no errors ... NHØP liked that. Some purists did not like the OP NHØP alliance. He would read tabloid papers while rehersing with Danish Radio Big band, the music wasnt difficult for him. to read so why not? but sometimes on a few occasions he would take off his wrist watch, that menat this (sheet) music is difficult. He once played a 800 kr gig when he normall fee was 10000 kr.
Thanks again for sharing, and again if this documentary had English subtitles it would be great. Maybe allowing community contribution could help, like superviewer wrote.
If you need a reminder or an excuse for realizing that you might have missed something in your formal education concerning jazz at your school, here is the reminder in all its glory.
thank you so much for this documentary. Where can I find these images where he is walking in the snow (on the first and last images here) with the Bach's music behind. There was this little movie on youtube but cannot find it anymore. thanks for your help from Montreal
To meet and play with Niels Henning is one of the great memories in my life.

Saying Neils Henning is "great" is like saying - the sun is warm.

Nothing more need be said about Ben Webster's contribution to the quality of this program.

Does anyone know who is that amazing guitar player at the minute 29? With nhop and lee konitz
If there was ever " A Great Dane " ....................he was it !!!!
24:35 whats the name of that tune again?
I'd say "Someone to watch over me" by George Gershwin.
