Sonny's improvisatory explorations are beyond genius....he is more spontaneous and free and yet he is also one of the few masters like Monk who never abandoned the melody during his solos. Sonny took tunes like this and especially the tune "Three Little Words" and played them more times than anyone who ever lived and yet, he displays fresh new ideas each time no matter how many times he has played that song. An absolute improvisational master and saxophone giant. (A colossal one). Of course, Alan Dawson and N.H.O.P. are both masters and are truly amazing as Sonny's accompanists. Alan is way too underrated in the music world.

The world was so different then, Sonny had been a beacon of jazz genius and integrity for a decade, and along with Coltrane gave us all enough so that we should be still digesting and admiring his gifts even now (in 2020). THIS IS HIGH ART.

@niklunoe4 жыл бұрын
Getting a chance to play with more experienced colleagues helps young talents mature, and Mr. Rollins’ decision to give the 19 year old a chance at his Copenhagen concert was not influenced by the TV broadcaster. Dexter Gordon spoke highly of NHØP in letters he wrote to friends at the time, and Ben Webster and Bud Powell also said they enjoyed working with the teenager. However, I do not have the time to look up those texts right now - so suffice to quote what Oscar Peterson wrote about a more mature NHØP in his 2002 autobiography, A Jazz Odyssey: “Niels Pedersen is the type of player whose talents on his instrument are such that he is almost unaware of what he does. His virtuosity on the bass surpasses anyone else that I have known. His melodic sense is impeccable, his choice of harmonic sequences is a pure delight to play with, and his time is flawless … He is now arguably the most inventive bassist in jazz.” When given a choice, pianists as different as George Shearing and Michel Petrucciani also asked for NHØP to accompany them. And, by the way, on top of his facility on bass NHØP, an autodidact, was a decent human being, tolerant & appreciative of others, firm but polite, highly intelligent, and quite erudite (particularly in the field of history).

This would have been in the late 1960's or early 70's. My dream was to get to Boston area to study with him when I got older, alas was not meant to be....I studied his approach to the kit as much as I could. Even thou I never got to met him in person, he had a very big influence on my playing.

yeah I mean I can HEAR the changes in everything they play, that's what separates the men from the boys in jazz. I'm a pianist and saxophonist and the lack of a chordal instrument is what makes this amazing to me, they improv over every change, never play the head once and if you know the song you can hear it all. nothing but greatness.
