Well..Was down in Denmark in a camp this summer, met an accordian player that knew him and he said that NHÖP died of stress from not regaining time for himself.
My only concern about Niels, is why he never smiled...wondering what his emotional pain was about...and what the mystery of his death was all about...not even the press managed to find out the death cause
Reply to iam4... dunno why he didn't smile that much. maybe because he was focused on playing music and making it swing, like no other bass player before him. (or after) And in the documentary about him, it's menchioned that he had lifed a very hectic life with a lot of smoking, alcohol, and stress. so that is probably why he passed on so early.. :s a shame though. love NHØP he is one of a kind!
yes i agree, NHÖP made a huge impact of my life both through what he musicaly played aswell what he expresssed through his fingers which is historical
Oscar wrote "On Danish Shore" for Niels - I suspect as much as he loved Ray Brown, who is one of the great bass players of all time, Niels was Oscar's favorite bassist.
Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass and NHOP are 3 of the absolute GIANTS of jazz and the drummer is no slouch either. It's amazing that the stage could hold that much talent. Unbelievable, fantastic, amazing!!!!
For the love of god, Is there an Mp3 of this with better quality? Where did you get this from?

Well Danish Radio ran a series on Great Jazz Personalities a couple of years ago.
In the episode on NHOP he said something like life was a constant struggle for perfection.
Being Danish, I have seen him on many occasions AND he could smile but not just that sort of personality!
