Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen documentary

[@hannejeppesen1809]

I grew up in Denmark. I went to a boarding school when I was 16, Niels Henning's dad was the head master of that school. And we use to see Niels Henning fairly often. Most of his family were musical. His mother played the church organ, and I think his sister too. One of his older brothers were also a jazz musician, but only locally. After I left the boarding school my friends and I would often take the bus or train to Copenhagen to go to Montmatre and hear Dexter Gordon playing along with Niels Henning. I saw Niels Henning in a jazz club in the San Francisco Bay area, about 2 years before he died, he was playing with Oscar Peterson.

Great video. Tak!! My father used to tell me back in the 60s that Neils was his cousin. We do share the same last name. And I come from the same area of Denmark. But we moved to the States in 1957. My father, Preben O Pedersen, was a huge jazz fan and we had many records with Neils on them, and I met him at Reno Sweeny's in NYC around 1975 or 76 in a bar while he was playing with Stephan Grappelli and Oscar Peterson. I was only 22 at the time and did not even know who they were seeing them in person. But I went to see them 5 nights in a row. Got to the point they all said 'Hey Peter!" when I walked in the last couple of nights. Great memories.. I never knew Neil's last name was Pedersen on those dates... LOL

[@fiddlestix3025]

Great memories!

[@maxwellroberts9498]

What is the matter with some people? I happen to think that Niels was an amazing bass player. His collaboration with Oscar and Martin brought some of the greatest jazz trio music of all time. I happened to make a comment about the translation and I was by no means the only one to do so. That was the end of it as far as I'm concerned, but obviously not for those who wish to go on about the subject. Let me therefore correct for all those offended by my comment. I think the translation was wonderful and greatly enhanced the film. You can all now sleep peacefully!!

[@abjork3]

In my world the best bass player that ever lived. Had the oppurtunity to hear him, Bireli Lagrene and Florin Niculescu at the Django Festival in Oslo 2001. The improvised for 1,5-2 hours, all of them trying do drag the other(s) "into deep water" but no one lost their composure of course. Maybe the most magical musical moment in my life ! A sad day when he left this world in 2005

In obvious ways this autobiographical presentation is serious business and it should remain in this format. Being heavily centered on the artist speaking about so much of substance about himself makes the total introduction about himself more irreducibly focused on the artist. Much appreciation for this effort brings out a valuable lesson about musical autobiographies. Good contribution for many of us who do not get to Denmark. Bring it back again with a follow-up.

[@jimhealey4961]

Trying to read the english comments reminds me so much of my days of being a bass player, I left 1 band got a job and was doing good, got a call from a musician friend I looked up to on a band that needed a bass player. Jammed with them, ego went straight to head, these were the best of the best Musicians we have been playing clubs against for years, and the fit was awesome. The recording contract was NOT, I spent 5 hours when Springstein was in town with Clarence Clemons discussing the recording contracts. Clarence was very easy to get along with it was amazing, He stated if you hate the road don't do it. We lived in a van most times and traveled that way for a while in the previous band, with the new one talks of overseas travels and recordings in various places, i was married with child, I was on my own supporting them. I left the band 1976, they fell apart as they could not find a local bass player or any bass player and split. I do miss playing so much. But I have a life of 9 kids, 17 grandkids and 4 great grandkids. I still miss playing, Years ago I fixed a boat for a guy, he had sent me cd;s that were exclusive to radio stations before they were released to the public, Oscar pederson was one, then studying Ray Brown, discovered Neils and my life changed again. I HOPE TO JAM WITH ALL OF THEM IN THE AFTERLIFE!

My all-time favorite. Who cares about the typos and any other errors, when you have this genius in front of you!

[@christophercharles9645]

I love how Niels says his thing about the bad travel and not feeling like he wants to play one night (31:44 on) and then they cut to a performance and Oscar (who chides him for his complaining) is playing an up-tempo number with a bandaged finger!

[@joelsacks210]

No kidding, I noticed that too.

[@romainjaccoud7936]

Great musician, I love him as much if not more than the Genius, Ray Brown RIP.

[@Tomatohater64]

Saxophone Colossus? Ahhh, that would be a yes. Rollins is rolling here. And NHOP was always my favorite bassist. Gone way, way too early at 58. RIP dear one; you are missed every day. (A musical sponge and technical beast at the same time; it made him unmatched in depth of interpretation.)

[@larrymckenna9496]

I saw and heard NHOP here in Toronto Canada in the spring of 1973 with the Oscar Peterson Trio featuring Joe Pass. I thought that I was a pretty good bass player. But hearing Niels was such a shock that I seriously contemplated quitting. Great artist and person. We lost him way to young. At least he had a long career, around 40 years long. And he left us a bunch of great records. As Oscar once said, Niels didn't play the bass, HE WAS THE BASS!

[@freedomfighter5222]

What a great video! My father loved Oscar Peterson and NHØP, myself I am not really into jazz, I only enjoy a very limited number of jazz pieces. But amazing virtuosity of both of them and Sonny Rollins and several others. NHØP apart from being one of the GOATs of bass was a remarkable human being. Honest and independent too - laughing when he mentioned The Beatles were 'nothing' to him (I am more into them as well as rock than jazz). This documentary could easily have been 2 or 3 hours long and I would have watched all of it!

Jazz piano blues in Copenhagen. Think about that. Wide-spread emigration by jazz icons to Denmark tells more than a story on the periphery of humanity at this time. Look into the large numbers of recitals featuring American jazz icons arriving in Denmark and wanting to stay there. Sonny Rollins alone is reason to watch this presentation at least twice. Thanks again.

His words about Thad Jones made me smile. When I was 18 I wanted to go on the road with Thad Jones……Thad said to me I had to finish school. Sadly, I never got to play with Mr. Thad Jones.

[@lukmigindnuforhelved]

His version of "I skovens dybe stille ro" ("In the tranquility of the forest") is still the most beautiful song I've ever heard. (36:04)

[@skierpage]

In addition to his solo at the beginning and end (what's the song?), 51:33 "Samba Petite." ♥ Some of his harmonics and sonorous intonation is like Jaco, especially the end solo, just not quite the same hammer of the gods intensity. Surely Oscar Peterson inspired NHØP's runs up and down the instrument and flurries of notes.

How does he get such clarity from each note - did he use specific strings or have strong fingers? Normally, a double bass is drowned out. I have an album where he plays 'Just the way you are' - love it!

[@MrBaskevin]

I think he is just the best hehe. He must have practiced a lot.

[@johnvinter8869]

I think his tone was a product of several things - and you are right: having strong and hardened fingers helps getting a clear and bright tone! According to his gear I am quite sure he played Red Spirocore (strings). He used a danish developed pickup named "Wilson", which has a small piezo-pickup put into the bridge 6-7 mm. under each string, the tone and volume can be adjusted manually for each string by moving the single unit longer into the bridge (volume) and turning it according to the string (tone). Both this pickup set and his Polytone Minibrute 15" amplifier was part of what made his sound. Naturally his technique was what made his tone too. He developed his own right hand 4-finger-technique, had his strings setup quite low to be able to play so fast and have the amplifier "doing what's needed" to amplify the sound enough. He had a classical education as a basplayer, which gave him the fundament for his extraordinary technique - and last but in no way least: He simply had an EXTRAORDINARY TALENT! ;-)

It might have been good to broaden the treatment of the artist with additional content. Solo performances were most central to this method of presenting the artist. This biographical in so many ways with the artist telling so much of the story. This approach is not to be criticized but enhanced with additional included for more narrow focus on the artist.
