Niels Pedersen & Sam Jones - Double Bass (1976).

''Double Bass'' is an album by bassists Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and Sam Jones which was recorded in 1976 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label.

Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen was quite comfortable in extending an invitation to Sam Jones for this unusual recording date, which features the two bassists, along with guitarist Philip Catherine (who sticks to playing acoustic) and drummer Billy Higgins, with Albert "Tootie" Heath's tambourine added on two tracks. 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. Among the highlights is a bright, breezy setting of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps," Jones' lush ballad "Miss Morgan," and a dramatic take of "Yesterdays." This fun date was evidently the only time Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and Sam Jones had the opportunity to work together, but they made the most of it...(AllMusic)
