[@tbcass]

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!!!!

[@thesaint2700]

Above and beyond! MasterClass x 4 ❤️🙏🏽

[@joergen100]

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!

[@Fluffski2006]

And to think I have trouble finding the buttons on my tv remote. Great playing by the master(s).

Beyond a jazz swing

[@Soundofmusic777]

This is surfing on Danish shore during a storm!

[@shama2]

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 !!

[@jimraw1]

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.

[@rogerioesposito2170]

Yes, he was.

[@iam4heriam4her]

pooooohhhhh...MIND BLOWING...holy smokes...gawd...PLEASE JAPANESE TV RELEASE THIS ON DVD..

[@MCWinnipeg]

[@spbmusette]

Tusind-tusind tak!

[@doublebassbass]

More, more, moooorrrreee!!!!

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

[@Radja23]

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!

[@Vayshen]

Remember to add &fmt=18 after the URL and you get even better sound in stereo!

[@simeonkrivoshiev6077]

and GIANTS - YES!

[@dillonheimerl5683]

2:10 6:17

[@aurelienpk]

it is already released.

[@mperik71]

Topsport!

[@TheWatsche]

On Danish Shore...as the title says...

[@iam4heriam4her]

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

[@Soundofmusic777]

He does smile in the documentary, when talking. Simply, when one plays music one is introverted. There is no space for overt smiling.

[@iam4heriam4her]

as laserdisc I found out... tricky issue...no dvd out there ?

[@auroradarienzo]

[@fitulus]

incredible and now go watch also the 12 year kid that plays like joe pass type in search andreas varadi

[@Lukechapmanmusic]

poor joe.... how can you solo after somthing like that.. He did alright but

[@KBMars]

Brutal is also Oscar clearly wording "lay off" to him, when he plays these chords behind the bass head...

[@rogerioesposito2170]

Does anybody know the name of this piece ?

[@Soundofmusic777]

On Danish Shore

[@ludwigmaple1911]

Superb....but a 12 year old kid can't play like mr.pass...don't think you heard joe play enough..

[@krisp75]

Nah - better show me a 12 year old playing like NHOP - that would be something!
