Philip Catherine & Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen

Thinking about NHOP after the last post, I just couldbn’t resist searching ffor one of is performances with that other great guitar player.  So if you can’t get enoug of that wounderful sound of a guitar and a bas, here are Bas, Philip Catherine & Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen

You’ll notice that Philippe Catherine is a different player tan Joe Pass, bus equally great in his own right.  One of the most melodic jazz guitarists around.  I had the chance (long ago) to play with him in a jam session in Leuven.  He made a lasting impression on me. And believe it or not, we also played My Funny Valentine (amongst a few other songs)

What I like most about Philip is the way he can work with chords and harmony.  Just listen to this video and you’ll know exactly what I mean.

If you want to hear more from Philip Catherine & Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, they’ve made quite some albums together, so search you favorite streaming service, it’s well worth your time.
