Have experienced phenomenal jazz recordings for decades, but, "The Unforgettable NHOP Trio Live" is off the chain.  Niels does not play bass, he attacks it!  Thank you for the heads up.  He is on another level, along with his mates.  

This is a seminal performance and recording; purely a clinic on musicianship and interpretation.  It cannot be any better.

@celtic66, thank you for the heads-up on "NHOP Trio Live." I did not know this one, but I sure am enjoying it now.  I knew of Pedersen and Wakenius from their work with Oscar Peterson but did not know their work elsewhere.

FWIW-Anyone who lives within striking distance of NYC can see Ed Cherry at Smalls Jazz Club, 1/8/2024. I believe there is a live stream, also.

 

Ed Cherry does not recorded much as solo man ...

He recorded one of my favorite guitar album ..."its all good"

His tone is very nuanced and his melodic sense was top and the music very relax as if he has nothing to prove ...

He was not a side man here ...
