May 18, 2011 - I wish the bass was miked. Sounds like Jaco Pastorius playing.

Jun 23, 2011 - @Superphilipp: No, it sounds like Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.

Jun 23, 2011 - @qubio: Are you nuts? Guitarist Lorne Lofsky always had the utmost respect for NHOP. You don't get to that level in the music profession without respecting your peers.

Superphilipp Says:

Jun 23, 2011 - Obviously. But the choice of pickup hides the fact more than it helps.

bass0111 Says:

Jun 23, 2011 - @Superphilipp: Not with good (e.g. Altec Lansing) computer speakers. If your computer speakers are of poor quality, try good (e.g. AKG) headphones.

Jun 24, 2011 - @2:30 it sounds like Jaco Pastorius's Portrait of Tracy

Superphilipp Says:

Jun 24, 2011 - It's not the speakers.I know what a mix sounds like when the bass is only present over pickup, not miked. That's what they did here. I don't like it. That's all.The playing is phenomenal of course.

Superphilipp Says:

Jun 24, 2011 - That's precisely what it was. Nice quote. :-)

bass0111 Says:

Jun 24, 2011 - @Superphilipp: Fair enough. I know players who prefer to mic their basses, so you're not alone in that view.

cccustard Says:

Jul 8, 2011 - To be correct you should say Pastorius' PoT. And yes, of course it does.

Jul 10, 2011 - Best 6 minutes ever! :DSpeechless!

Jul 12, 2011 - why the guitar player looks like Michael Bolton? #joke :D

Aug 24, 2011 - why is the "dislike" button so close to the "like" button, thats the only reason i can think its been pressed?!this is a great recording!

Sep 15, 2011 - DOUBLEBASS IS HARMONY.THANK YOU MR.PEDERSEN.

dmbassa Says:

Dec 25, 2011 - Exactly. A good way to tell this is to look at Peterson when NHOP finishes his solo. He is the first one to start clapping, and comment verbally on NHOP's performance on that particular solo, and trust me, Peterson is not one to throw compliments around unless they are greatly deserved. I believe NHOP must have felt like the King of the World at that very moment. And rightly so, mr. Pedersen. Very well done, bravissimo!

Feb 18, 2012 - I cried at the end of this. Speechless.

Queslington Says:

Mar 10, 2012 - 4:30 - 4:42 Does this remind anyone else of the Genesis song "Horizons"?

Mar 22, 2012 - 2:29 PORTRAIT OF TRACY!! hahaha yes

Apr 17, 2012 - Two of the best musicians in history, and NHOP makes it look so easy. A great video to show people who think impressive technique implies a lack of emotion.
