Double Bass' is an album by bassists Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Sam Jones which was recorded in 1976 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label.[1][2]
Reception
In his review for AllMusic, Ken Dryden said "Both bassists had played with the formidable pianist Oscar Peterson, so they not only knew something about playing rhythm but were very potent soloists to boot. Pedersen's singing tone contrasts with the darker sound of Jones, though the players nimbly shift roles throughout the sessions. ...This fun date was evidently the only time Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Sam Jones had the opportunity to work together, but they made the most of it".[3]
