DOUBLE BASS

Description

'Double Bass' is a studio album by jazz bassists Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Sam Jones, recorded on 15 & 16 February 1976 and released on the Danish label SteepleChase. In his review for 'AllMusic', Ken Dryden stated: "the two bassists had played with the formidable pianist Oscar Peterson. They therefore knew the rhythm well but were also very powerful soloists. Pedersen's playing tone contrasts with Jones's darker sound. The players skillfully switch roles throughout the sessions. This enjoyable session was obviously the only occasion on which Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Sam Jones had had the opportunity to work together, but they made the most of it".
