NHOP Has Died

[clandy44]

I have been traveling this week, just got home and saw his obit in the NYT. No cause of death given. He appeared on many albums and was a force in the bass world. Admired his work and will miss him.

There is already a discussion on this sad news:

I've just watched on danish TV a memorial that lasted for one hour, and after that a concert recording from 1965 here from Copenhagen with him, Sonny Rollins, Kenny Drew, Alan Dawson, he was only 18 at that time. It all brought tears to my eyes, I've have know since he was a kid, what a waste.

I will attend the service, if it's not going to be just for the family and close friends.
