Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (27 May 1946 – 19 April 2005) was a Danish jazz bassist known for his impressive technique and an approach that could be considered an extension of the innovative work of Scott LaFaro. He was born in Osted near Roskilde, on the Danish island of Zealand.
The "great Dane with the never-ending name" was known as "NHØP" among many jazz fans. In Denmark he was most often simply talked about as "Niels-Henning" and certainly never "Pedersen", a name shared by almost 4% of the Danish population..
As a child, NHØP played piano. As a teenager, he started learning to play contrabass and at the age of 14, he began his professional jazz career in Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen. At 17 he turned down an offer to join the Count Basie orchestra.
During the 1960s, NHØP played with several important American jazzmen who were touring in Denmark, including Albert Ayler, Bill Evans, Brew Moore, Bud Powell, Count Basie, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie, Jackie McLean, Roland Kirk, Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, and the vocalist Ella Fitzgerald.
In the 1970s he worked in a duo with pianist Kenny Drew, and began making occasional appearances with the Oscar Peterson Trio throughout Europe and North America. Together, they have recorded over 50 albums.
He has also worked with Stéphane Grappelli and recorded extensively as a leader. His most known songs are My little Anna, Jaywalkin and The Puzzle. Besides jazz, he also was an interpreter of Danish folk poetry and songs. Besides many other awards, he was also awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize in 1991.
Together with his friend Ole Koch Hansen he toured Denmark with the theme "Danske toner" comprising old Danish folk songs.
NHØP died in Copenhagen, Denmark, of heart failure, at the age of 58. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL.

Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (27 de mayo de 1946 – 19 de abril de 2005) fue un bajista de jazz danés conocido por su impresionante técnica y un enfoque que podría considerarse una extensión del innovador trabajo de Scott LaFaro. Nació en Osted, cerca de Roskilde, en la isla danesa de Zelanda.
El "gran danés con el nombre interminable" era conocido como "NHØP" entre muchos fanáticos del jazz. En Dinamarca, a menudo se hablaba simplemente de él como " Niels-Henning "y ciertamente nunca como "Pedersen", un nombre compartido por casi el 4% de la población danesa..
De niña, NHØP tocaba el piano. Cuando era adolescente, comenzó a aprender a tocar el contrabajo y, a los 14 años, comenzó su carrera profesional de jazz en Jazzhus Montmartre en Copenhague. A los 17 años rechazó una oferta para unirse a la orquesta Count Basie.
Durante la década de 1960, NHØP tocó con varios jazzistas estadounidenses importantes que estaban de gira en Dinamarca, incluidos Albert Ayler, Bill Evans, Brew Moore, Bud Powell, Count Basie, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie, Jackie McLean, Roland Kirk, Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins y la vocalista Ella Fitzgerald.
En la década de 1970 trabajó a dúo con el pianista Kenny Drew y comenzó a hacer apariciones ocasionales con el Trío Oscar Peterson en Europa y América del Norte. Juntos, han grabado más de 50 álbumes.
También ha trabajado con Stéphane Grappelli y ha grabado extensamente como líder. Sus canciones más conocidas son My little Anna, Jaywalkin y The Puzzle. Además del jazz, también fue intérprete de poesía y canciones folclóricas danesas. Además de muchos otros premios, también fue galardonado con el Premio de Música del Consejo Nórdico en 1991.
Junto con su amigo Ole Koch Hansen realizó una gira por Dinamarca con el tema "Danske toner" que comprende canciones folclóricas danesas antiguas.
NHØP murió en Copenhague, Dinamarca, de insuficiencia cardíaca, a la edad de 58 años. El texto aportado por el usuario está disponible bajo la licencia Creative Commons By-SA y también puede estar disponible bajo la FDL de GNU.
