Nigel and Ashley celebrate the work of Joe Pass and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pederson. After playing together with Oscar Peterson for some years, Joe and NHOP formed a partnership that, for many people, is the absolute pinnacle of the jazz guitar/double bass duo format.

They recorded an album in 1979 called ‘Chops’. Nigel and Ashley will recreate the entire album!

There aren’t many musicians out there who would be so brave as to take on this material but if anyone is going to attempt it, it’s these two.

Expect fireworks…
