Background

[edit]

In 1999–2000, Pedersen had the opportunity to make a studio recording to celebrate Duke Ellington's 100th birthday. The session was initially planned as a piano-and-bass duo, so NHØP chose Miller, whom he had never played with before. From that occasion on, they played together and had an affinity both as men and musicians. They opted for a repertoire based on the historic 1941 Duke Ellington–Jimmy Blanton duets. In 2000, NHØP and Miller recorded another album and toured around the world, commemorating Duke Elington's 100th birthday.[4]
