Though NHOP spent much of his career at the center of the ever-moving jazz scene, his more recent focus has returned to the music of Denmark and Scandinavia. Recent CDs have pursued Danish folk music, rearranging the age-old tunes according to jazz modalities. In the past, NHOP has also delved into classical music, playing the compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach and Bela Bartok. According to concert organizers, the NHOP trio's repertoire for this evening will include a combination of the Danish folk arrangements and classic jazz numbers. Joining Osted Pedersen on stage tonight will be guitarist Ulf Karl Erik Wakenius and drummer Jonas Johansen.
