Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen – Jaywalkin’ (SCCD 31041)

SCCD 31041 Jaywalkin' / Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen Quartet

The tremendous career this double bass player with a non-stop-name had already achieved by the time of the recording of his first leader album here is as impressive as his technique. NHØP (b. May 27, 1946 in Osted, Denmark) started playing professionally at an early teenage and recorded with Bud Powell when he was 14! He turned down the offer to join Count Basie’s orchestra in order to finish high school.
