Here's a phenomenal solo bass concert recording with the late Danish virtuoso Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen or simply NHØP, the abbrevation that was/is widely used. In addition to being one of the finest recorded performances of his career in my opinion, it also has sublime sound quality. Known outside Scandinavia primarily for his collaborations with pianist Oscar Peterson, NHØP was as musically versatile as they come. He excelled at everything from playing the most tender and lyrical ballads to bebop tunes at blistering tempos. All facets of his extraordinary musicianship are covered in this stellar concert. You also get a glimpse of his dry humor and warm personality as he talks to the audience inbetween tunes. On some of the tracks he plays along to pre recorded bass parts. The concert took place at the Rolf-Liebermann studio in Hamburg, Germany in 1979 recorded and broadcasted by German radio. I don't have the exact date unfortunately. I hope you'll enjoy this piece of jazz history :)
