Or...IS the bassist actually NHOP after all? Looks like someone else. Sounds similar, but "flowier," at least in this version, than the recorded NHOP version. I'm confused!
Who IS this bassist? I like (love) his version of this tune better than NHOP's (Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen). Much better. Sounds like a piccolo bass. But it's not. Is it? I'm not a bass player.. So help me out, someone!
E' musica moderna...ma non nel senso che comunemente si intende...è moderna perchè la sua bellezza rimarrà tale anche per quelli che la ascolteranno tra mille anni.
It's a fabulous performance, but Montreaux '77 for me is Oscars greatest recorded gig I've heard, with Ray Brown AND Niels Pederson at the same time! It's a bassists' dream!
This is making my bowl of cereal seem like a meal at a five star restaurant.

Just great hey, the cadence in the 3rd couplet is just fireworks! This can never ever sound outdated. What an inspiration this man still is...

@avivagabriel It's a string bass. The kind they use in classical orchestra settings.
