NHØP - 1960's Sessions

[EspeonVI]

This man is my freaking hero.

[algreensurdo]

I'd say NHOP is the finest jazz player ever. There are many great jazz bass players, with great technique, but NHOP had a rhythm and melodic structure that set him aside.....

[phovring]

Bjarne Rostvold!

[jazzuffe]

Alex Riel is the drummer with Webster..

[jazzuffe]

NHØP and Bud Powell, it is still something of a dream..

[jazzuffe]

Does the "Danes" know what a Genie he where! NHØP? He is a rare gift to humanity.

[ELLJAZZMINE]

The blond drumme ist Jörn Elnief ( Spelleng me be wrong )

[ELLJAZZMINE]

[ahaaaaaaaaah]

I always thought Ben Webster was a great drummer!

[mxeria]

[Follinsmusik]

[mxeria]

[bizdevlab]

Mac the knife

[billlarry]

Your videos are awesome. Thanks so much for sharing some rare clips of a very fine bass player, it is hard to watch these and not get emotional.

[Follinsmusik]

@Brskaylor Maybe Alex Riel. I'm not sure.

[mcballe1]

He sure looks a lot like Bjarne Rostvold

[Nuxunumo]

[Follinsmusik]

@Nuxunumo

In the first clip, I don't remember the name.

The other one is Alex Riel (Denmark).

[juanpi56]

[Follinsmusik]

If you mean when video starts, is is a Danish trad. song: "I Skovens Dybe Stille Ro" (something like - Tranquility of the Woods).

[P1c2m3s4]

He was a remarkable bassist!!!

I wish I could catch up he play!

[xiz90]

Truly an inspiration!

15 years old and he can walk the bass like a master. Hell im 19 years old and got to catch up!
