Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, largely unknown to American audiences, but one of the all-time greats, has died at the suprisingly young age of 58.
He had impeccable tone and technique, and a unique melodic voice on the most cumbersome of jazz instruments, the upright bass. Look for his duets with Joe Pass -- they're some of the finest chamber jazz out there.
