The NHØP Pages
..HOME	"I'm not a member of any jazz movement " - Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (1996) Biography Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen died in 2005. Here's a short outline of his musical profile. Discography A list of appr. 300 releases with NHØP. Updated December 2009 The name and its spelling There are a couple of difficulties connected to the name of the virtuosoDanish bassist. It contains the Nordic letter Ø (ASCII 157) and it is long and therefore often abbreviated NHØP. Internationally the Ø is usually replaced with O, which gives the abbreviation NHOP. Also in international reference books the name is often written Niels-Henning Orsted-Pedersen, hence alphabetized under O, but Pedersen really is his last family name. His first name, Niels-Henning, is a double name just like Jean-Luc or Karl-Heinz. The first family name, Ørsted, is sometimes confused with the village where NHØP was brought up. The name of the village is Osted and it is not related to his family name Release A book about NHØP's recordings with the title Scandinavian Wood will be published in 2010. It contains an account of his career and an updated diskography. It will be approximately 170 pages long.
