In 1999, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Mulgrew Miller came together in a unique and unlikely pairing to pay tribute to Duke Ellington on the 100th anniversary of his birth. The result was a passionate and long-lived musical partnership between two masters of their respective instruments, but the original recordings were never released. For the first time ever, more than 20 years after its recording, this lost treasure is finally made available to the public.
The duo was initially brought together by Bang & Olufsen and set out to celebrate Ellington and his partnership with bassist Jimmy Blanton. With the help of Per Arnoldi, who is also credited with the album’s artwork, NHØP was approached to take part and tapped Mulgrew Miller to tackle a series of Ellington’s classic themes and a couple of their own. He saw the opportunity to work with Mulgrew Miller, a pianist whom he admired and had not yet had the opportunity to work with, and this decision paid off greatly for both of them. A great musical and personal partnership was born, and the duo’s captivating chemistry is obvious from the first notes.
Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen is widely celebrated as one of the greatest to ever grace the upright bass and had a long and fruitful career among the greats of jazz. He is arguably jazz's most virtuosic bassist, and his long career saw collaborations with legends like Oscar Peterson, Kenny Drew, Michel Petrucciani, Tania Maria, Philippe Catherine and Joe Pass. In the duo with Miller in particular, Niels-Henning’s unique sense of harmony and his impeccable timing stand out. Meanwhile, Mulgrew Miller, one of the most

En 1999, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen y Mulgrew Miller se unieron en un binomio único e improbable para rendir homenaje a Duke Ellington en el centenario de su nacimiento. El resultado fue una apasionada y longeva asociación musical entre dos maestros de sus respectivos instrumentos, pero las grabaciones originales nunca se publicaron. Por primera vez, más de 20 años después de su grabación, este tesoro perdido se pone por fin a disposición del público.
El dúo fue reunido inicialmente por Bang & Olufsen y se propuso celebrar a Ellington y su asociación con el bajista Jimmy Blanton. Con la ayuda de Per Arnoldi, a quien también se le atribuye la obra de arte del álbum, se pidió a NHØP que participara y se recurrió a Mulgrew Miller para abordar una serie de temas clásicos de Ellington y un par de ellos propios. Vio la oportunidad de trabajar con Mulgrew Miller, un pianista al que admiraba y con el que aún no había tenido la oportunidad de trabajar, y esta decisión dio grandes frutos para ambos. Nació una gran asociación musical y personal, y la cautivadora química del dúo es evidente desde las primeras notas.
Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen es ampliamente reconocido como uno de los más grandes que ha tocado el bajo vertical y ha tenido una larga y fructífera carrera entre los grandes del jazz. Podría decirse que es el bajista más virtuoso del jazz, y en su larga carrera colaboró con leyendas como Oscar Peterson, Kenny Drew, Michel Petrucciani, Tania Maria, Philippe Catherine y Joe Pass. En el dúo con Miller, en particular, destaca el sentido único de la armonía de Niels-Henning y su impecable sincronización. Por su parte, Mulgrew Miller, uno de los más
