I love Nils. He used to play with the Oscar Peterson trio (Martin Drew on drums) on a weekly BBC2 show in the UK in the 70s or 80s. On one occasion Ray Brown came on to guest on bass. Oscar asked him how he'd enjoyed it - Ray said 'Man, your bass player has two left hands!' (I think he meant as well as one right hand :-))
I used to catch the show on BBC2, and it was a window into music that i didn't fully appreciate then. I recall the show when Joe pass was a guest and it changed my perspective, Wonderful, wonderful players, beyond compare in today's world of mediocrity
@@nick-wi6et perhaps as a composer and bandleader he far exceeds NHØP but as a technical and swinging player, Mingus doesn't really come close. I love Mingus and you don't ever really hear him play with the virtuosity and technical prowess the Niels exhibits.
Neils HOP got me into Playing Double Bass.. A Genius! His "Samba Petite" solo Live from 1994 With The late Great Oscar Peterson has to be One of the Best if not "The best Double Bass Solo"
"tricotism" from the french verb "ticoter" that means "to knit" . Pleasant expression that evokes the restless movement of the fingers on the fretboard. A pure moment of joy.
@@santiagobenitez1388 guess you're wrong... and kind of a jerk too... Beato sent me. AND I wondered how many others... saw your comment... thought. someone thinks they're all that. and yet... they are incorrect.
It certainly can't get much better than this! Pedersen is my all-time favorite jazz bassist! I was sad for weeks when he passed. He was from out of this world! And Joe is in my top five list of jazz guitars. These two geniuses! They are making magic and they are smiling! See the happines in their faces! They are doing exactly what they were born to do and feeling good to be doing it.
Totally agree with you! Peterson + Pass + Pedersen = outstanding jazz, amazing music, pure beauty!! Jazz giants, no more words to describe it. Greetings from Poland! :)
I really like Joe's tone on this recording, plus his use of slight reverb. At times, he sounded like early Wes Montgomery, which is no easy thing to do - and of course himself. It is apparent that Pedersen and Pass had some special chemistry. When/where was this recording done? Do you know?
Back in the 1980's my buddy in high school was a guitar player and he fell in love with Jazz. He "dragged" me out to little clubs and bars around the D.C. area and I saw so many guys. Joe Pass I saw several times and I could have reached out from our little table and touched him I was that close. Looking back I was so blessed to see such incredible musicians.
Makes sense that a tune by a bassist would be such a sterling vehicle for N.H.Ø.P. to solo over - and, indeed, both their solos are breathtaking - but it's the interplay between the heads in & out and their solos where this version hits its sweet spot. Really beautiful version of Tricotism. There's also a great solo version of it by the bassist Rufus Reid on his album Perpetual Stroll. Thanks for posting!
Two masters of their craft here! Jazz these days seems to have lost it's way and doesn't seem to swing anymore! I miss not having what is on offer here! so thank God for recordinhgs! RIP Niels & Joe!!
I wished I caught Niels much sooner, although playing bass since 1967, there is much more to learn, always learning!! I love he uses all 10 fingers!!! As I do!!
Apart from Art Tatum, who influenced Petersen as a young musician, there was no one whose chops could compare with Oscar Petersen's - at least in his prime.
The correct title as given on the 1956 recording by O Pettiford and Lucky Thompson is "Tricrotism"--that's "Tric-r-otism": "(biology) The condition of the arterial pulse in which there is a triple beat, so that the pulse curve obtained in a sphygmographic tracing shows two secondary crests in addition to the primary one."
Played guitar for 59 yrs. picked up the bass during covid and Michael Jackson's and Prince's both women, however Stanly Clark is a mentor. Ralphie Armstong from Mahavishu. Ron "Hurricane" Hubbard. Randy Joe Hobbs-Johnny Winter. Flea, the list goes on.
Ça pour moi c 'est de la guitare électrique!C 'est comme ça que je l'aime!Comme Wes Montgomery,par exemple !Et l autre''fou!''je veux parler de Nhop,qui joue lui comme la guitare de son partenaire! Un nectar!
@ gnaagren: It's why intonation is so important for the upright bassist - there are seldom markers for position on the bass, and no frets - so the player has to learn the instrument by hand position, pitch, feel and tone. The greats on the bass can hold pitch pretty much flawlessly, and deviate from it when they like. The nature of the double bass does cause problems with some people, though, due to the size of a full-scale instrument. Not everyone has hands large-enough to cover the necessary real-estate down in the key of F, for example. That's where maybe you look at a 4/5th size instrument or something along those lines, something to accommodate your hand size. Or you switch to electric bass.... but if you love jazz, stay with acoustic. There's no substitute.
I had the old vinyl with Pederson, Joe P and Grappelli at Tivoli Gardens. (Oscar joined them the next night, I believe) Anyway, I listened to that album until I wore out the grooves. Brilliance.
RickJason the sound you’re hearing is mixed by a sound technician. It’s not difficult at all to create the optimal mix of volumes especially since there are only two players. Electric vs. acoustic doesn’t really matter in this case. The bass is miked and the guitar amp is miked. It’s just a matter of adjusting the volume and equalization of each in relation to each other.
Nhop does something that eludes me, right at the end 5:04 when they come come back to the original riff/scale... if you look closely his left and right hand looks like it fumbles, but he did it purposely... that has my mind completely blown!
