Listening to this unbelievable magnificent quartet makes me so thankful for my hearing. These are some of the finest musicians of all time. We're in the presence of the greatest, and for this, I'm thankful and blessed to be able to appreciate this magical moment in time!
we know about oscar.joe and nhop.the drummer is our own late GREAT martin drew.oscar knew how good he was.these are four of the greatest players ever to visit this planet r.i.p all.many thanks.
Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass and NHOP are 3 of the absolute GIANTS of jazz and the drummer is no slouch either. It's amazing that the stage could hold that much talent. Unbelievable, fantastic, amazing!!!!
Of every great jazz artists ever,two most spectacular imo..1.tatum n 2.n.h.o.p..completely no one can touch ..niels was technically n harmonically gifted can do things no other bassist can come close too w the ease and class..virtuosic brilliance.
Well Danish Radio ran a series on Great Jazz Personalities a couple of years ago. In the episode on NHOP he said something like life was a constant struggle for perfection. Being Danish, I have seen him on many occasions AND he could smile but not just that sort of personality!
Oscar wrote "On Danish Shore" for Niels - I suspect as much as he loved Ray Brown, who is one of the great bass players of all time, Niels was Oscar's favorite bassist.
Niels had something that made him very special, something that made him a unique bass player and an example for every musician Niels Pedersen live forever in our minds! habia algo en Niels que lo hacia especial, algo que lo hacia ser un contrabajista unico y una escuela para todo musico viva Niels Pedersen por siempre en nuestras mentes !!
Reply to iam4... dunno why he didn't smile that much. maybe because he was focused on playing music and making it swing, like no other bass player before him. (or after) And in the documentary about him, it's menchioned that he had lifed a very hectic life with a lot of smoking, alcohol, and stress. so that is probably why he passed on so early.. :s a shame though. love NHØP he is one of a kind!
My only concern about Niels, is why he never smiled...wondering what his emotional pain was about...and what the mystery of his death was all about...not even the press managed to find out the death cause

What a rush! I would assume the dislikes were from people who could not believe their own ears.

My favourite!
Remember to add &fmt=18 after the URL and you get even better sound in stereo!
it is already released.
as laserdisc I found out... tricky issue...no dvd out there ?
Topsport!
On Danish Shore...as the title says...
My only concern about Niels, is why he never smiled...wondering what his emotional pain was about...and what the mystery of his death was all about...not even the press managed to find out the death cause
He does smile in the documentary, when talking. Simply, when one plays music one is introverted. There is no space for overt smiling.
Does anybody know the name of this piece ?
On Danish Shore
2:10 6:17
This is dynamite!
poor joe.... how can you solo after somthing like that..
He did alright but
Brutal is also Oscar clearly wording "lay off" to him, when he plays these chords behind the bass head...
incredible and now go watch also the 12 year kid that plays like joe pass
type in search andreas varadi
Superb....but a 12 year old kid can't play like mr.pass...don't think you heard joe play enough..
Nah - better show me a 12 year old playing like NHOP - that would be something!
