Basically what you are witnessing are two of the greatest musicians of all time if not the greatest guitarist and bass player.

You correct...music is subjective on many levels, but if there is another bass player or guitarist that are better that Joe Pass and NHOP I have personally never seen heard or seen them...I also love when NHOP played with Oscar Peterson who for me stands alone as a piano player in his genre and is one of the greatest piano players ever from any genre and that is saying something...God blessed our ears when he gave us these men.

"He is not playing the bass; he IS the bass"....

IL N'EST JAMAIS ASSEZ, D'ENREGISTRER, LA 'QUALITÉ SUMMUMM', DE JOE PASS ET NIELS PEDERSEN...!!! LES 2 FONT UN SEUL ENSEMBLE 'BODY AND SOUL' !!! ILS NOUS MANQUENT ÈNORMÉMENT!!! CERTAINEMENT SONT EN TRAIN DE JOUER DANS L'UNIVERS COSMIQUE. Directement de Salvador-Bahia-Brasil. Un Fan, que Jamais les Oubliera!!!

The most brilliant guitarist, the most brilliant bassist!

Joe Pass had such a great sense of rubato and had such a beautiful pianistic approach to the guitar.

If you know about Joe Pass’ childhood his father pushed him to practice guitar for hours upon hours on a daily basis. At some point, if you spend your life working at something as much as Joe Pass did on the guitar, you are going to internalize it. The ones that make it look the easiest are the ones that work the hardest.

Just shows you the depth a bass has. It can be a rhythm instrument or a lead. Makes no difference in the hands of the right user. Love how they don't step all over each other and compliment each other beautifully. Joe was the greatest!

I remember hearing their album ‘chops’ many moons ago and simply floored me.. still does. Magic

Starting at 27:47 is Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen soloing for several minutes. Extraordinary, miraculous, breathtaking are a few of the superlative adjectives that are just adequate. I had heard him on CD's, but nothing like this solo - including part of a Bach solo cello composition. And at 38:12, his lead into the next number - he plays with his instrument. He is simply not replaceable. This entire concert is a revelation - sincere thanks for uploading it. RIP Neils-Henning and hope you are with Joe and all the other jazz greats in an eternal jam session.

Well, this concert was after Jaco, Niels obviously took some inspiration from jaco and vise versa. Check out NHOP playing autumn leaves. He opens up by playing Jaco’s chromatic fantasy on upright, which is insanely difficult

@krrraaab

Jaco got a distinctive tone from his J Bass, at times reminiscent of an upright, and it is hard not to notice a similarity to the tone of NHOP.

I love those poets on guitar and bass; they are my favorite, and I often feel sad they have passed away so prematurely. I hope they have reborn as musical geniuses again...somewhere in a parallel galaxy or universe.

Music is one thing, NHOP is another

It's never too late to discover the great Joe Pass. I think he and Wes Montgomery are jamming this very moment in the Great Beyond. And this long-named bassist must be the G.O.A.T. of not-famous sidemen.

James Ciccone I’m 66 and have been playing since the age of 9. I feel so small when I hear Pass play. That’s why we call all of these guys Masters. And as far as I know, Joe could fart better music than I could ever play, but I keep trying because he inspires me. The magic of the Master keeps pulling me along😎

Beautifully done, two greats with such a deep rooted understanding of music evoking memories, emotions, stirring up an ocean of thoughts. Needless to say this is true music, instead i will depart asking that you share your own as they did. Whatever instrument it may be or skill as well, stay in tune with what is you

My friend and I had the pleasure of spending an hour or so with NHOP in the downstairs bar during the interval break. I remember we were all drinking bloody marys ! Have a photo somewhere of us all sitting down together. Never got the chance to see Joe live but he remains my favourite jazz guitarist - and there are a great many to choose from....

NHOP is the bass😳 mind blowing
