Who´s playing the sax?

Tusind tak for upload. Der mangler lige en datoangivelse på udsendelsen - har du det? Her forleden tænkte jeg på den lange række af store jazzpersonligheder fra en pionertid i jazzen, som nu har forladt os. Og hvilken kulturarv, som er ved at forlade os 😥 Musikgenren der var mit soundtrack som barn i 70erne med en fatter der spillede trækbasun i det lokale crazy-jazz orkester. Han var af den opfattelse at jazz skulle spilles højt - som i for fulde gardiner. Ikke kun når han var på trækbasunen. Men i høj grad også de jazzplader som blev lagt på min mors Beogram 1000 på allerhøjeste volumen Så hele nabolaget kunne høre det. Jeg var som teenager og ung mand i 80erne og start90erne så heldig at møde NHØP 2 gange ifb. med liveoptrædener. NHØP's ydmyghed strålede fuldt igennem, også bag scene ♥

Anybody know who the drummer at 15:40 is ?

Technically and musically the best.

The greatest of all time, I saw him in Stockholm in 1965 with Bill Evans. he was only eighten.

The more I watch, the more I LEARN. one day Niels, we will meet up. Hope your watching from above!

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!

Wunderbar! Vielen Dank!

dieser wunderbare autobiografische streifzug durch niels' leben sagt und zeigt im grunde alles, was man über jazz wissen kann. was für wahnsinns musiker und individualisten. wow!! danke harry! by the way... who can be that silly to get bothered by not always correct subtitles while having the opportunity to see this? this is such a rare & valuable gem, even if 1 is not able to understand 1 word. it's about the ability to hear music in the silence anyway.

It is rather unfornate that the late Mr. Niels Perdesen didn't mentined his short and untimely work with the jazz violin guru the late Mr. Stuff Smith. The two years preceding Mr. Smith's death was a very great period of violin jazz which was highly enjoyed by the danish people. Jazzhus Montmartre was their base with Kenny Drew, Alex Riel and Stuff Smith.May Kenny Drew, Stuff Smith and Niels keep resting in peace.

Many thanks for the upload and a great commentary on a fantastic bass player rip nhop !

2:58 -- a real prince from Hans-Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales!

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!!

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.

12:17 - Bill Evans and Lee Konitz. :) Incredible to have all this documented, thank you!

12:19 "go figure on that last name" - it's Lee Konitz

Niels is amazing and has an amazing life!

Jeg var så heldig som fikk møte og spille med NHØP. Niels Henning var ikke bare en fantastisk bassist og musiker,men også et stort menneske. Jeg vil aldri glemme de stunder vi hadde sammen. Brynjar Hoff

That dude is one of the late 20th century’s great bass players.

Thank you for uploading this, very fascinating...remarks about being professional, disciplined, and so many music examples...even if one only pic out just the last solo bass piece FUTURE CHILD that left me speechless.

32:50 Oscar playing with injured, gauze wrapped left index finger.

He’s a BAD MAN! What a brilliant bassist! I recently saw a video of NHOP and Joe Pass, another of NHOP and Oscar Peterson, both were a revelation! His technique, musicianship, tone are mind blowing. I’d love to know what Jaco thought of him.

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!

A jazz life and a story book of inspiration! What a wonderful musician. The sounds he got with all those different players and styles is amazing. The solo bass clips are as contrapuntal as Bach. 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.

This made me happy. Thanks for making this available

Great documentary, but who the heck did this terrible subtitling?

Great documentary. But at about 25 minutes in, this is the first time I've seen Niels playing an electric bass and I'm surprised he used a pick.

I'm a "bass player" well maybe I thought I was! Baddest cat on bass! Baddest cat on Guitar, Danny Gatton , O P on piano, Drums Buddy Rich u can bank on those dudes

Brilliant musician!!

Mi name is Luciano invernizzi, italian but born in denmark, and one year on a flight to Italy i was on the sa e plane with Him goino to Umbria jazz. And hai a long talk with him, great, to remember. I am an amateur trombone player in old style😊

Around 28 minutes in there's some pretty rare footage of Jim Hall with Oscar it seems to me a hard gig for a guitar player trying to be helpful with a guy like Oscar and still make a little statement here and there

monstro

Absolutely amazing and inspiring story! Thanks 🙏

Lee Konitz

Dexter learning danish, and it's no wonder that made an impact on nhop too.!

I'm pretty Shure haha. I love the subtitles. Thanks!

Wow! I've been chasing jazz..these guys are jazz. Very few things cause me to want to regain some youthful years.

Quel sonorıte et great technıic. sans doute un des plus grand !!!!!!!!!! et Quel plaısır pour l’oreılle..

Who is responsible for the english translation ?? It is the worst I have ever seen ! It is a shame !

NHOP my great inspiration since I’m in my teens. I’m 60 now and seeing this wonderful documentary it filled my heart with joy to learn about this giant of Jazz musical legacy. 😊🙏

God of the gods of bass

Amazing person and musicianship!

Wish I spoke jazz to understand

Great person! I'm glad that Rick Beato love for jazz brought me here

What a sexy Scandinavian!!!!!!!'

I remember listening to Ben Webster in the old Monmartre Jazz House in Copenhagen. He was so drunk, he could hardly sit on the chair. I was only 14. I'd just changed school. My new class mates were a bit advanced for their age. I just followed.

I’ve seen that early bud Powell clip so many times it’s really interesting to hear the story behind it,,great solo he played with sonny rollins

NHØP and Ray Brown. The two best bass players.

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.

Oscar Peterson is so hot he has to wear a beige safari suit to limit his appeal
