Hi all, I was in contact with someone from the Danish Jazz archive, but I never heard anything back from them ?

The private items from Peter, will be given to Yan Callan, and his Aunt Tanya.

Maybe the 78,s will be sold ? not sure who wants them ? and as stated = difficult to send by post.

Hi! my name is Yan i am 24 from Australia. I just stumbled across this and i feel really really strange saying/asking this but I am actually a grandson of Peter Elliott Nyegaard. His daughter Oona was my mother and she passed away when we moved to Australia and I was just 19 months old.
I never got to meet my grandfather and know very little.. something like this means the world to me and I dont know how to say it but could i buy it off you or something?? please I would do more than vherish i would cry !!!

Jens, One thing to consider is that 78s are real difficult to ship. Mattyman has a great idea to me, although I can understand going a different route trying to sell the items. Good luck and please let us know what you do. Most of us here would be very interested in hearing any stories you would have.

Hello Jens, it sounds interesting; don’t you think it would be better to bring the entire inheritance of Peter Elliott Nyegaard to a national jazz archive or jazz/music related institution in Denmark? They have the knowledge and experience to look after this material. The countless 78s you mention may include irreplaceable, historically significant and maybe even presumed lost recordings. If your mother had private recordings of jazz concerts she visited in the sixties then you should bring that, too, to a national archive or something like it. It would be much better to do all that than to simply ‘throw it online’.

I had this Versailles LP in less than NM condition and traded it in for the Atlantic. At the time I was happy to have a thick cardboard american sleeve. In fairness to Atlantic, on my copy they print something like “this session was recorded by Versailles Records, Paris”.
Yes, I saw the British version on EBay recently. Same picture of John and Sacha. It is on the U.K. Oriole label.
A great session indeed.

This album is simply wonderful, it’s definitely one of the best European jazz albums ever made. I have the Versailles pressing and I saw a UK pressing with the same sleeve a while back on ebay.

Hello ,

I have found some old personal items from Peter Elliott Nyegaard who was a famues Danish Jazz musician (trombone)

http://www.karl-emil-knudsen.dk/Adrian/DISCOGRAPHY%20of%20ADRIAN%20BENTZON-2.pdf

and http://www.lordisco.com/musicians/N8.html

he toured in USA late 60ies, and did a lot of TV here in Denmark.

The reason I post here, is that I have found some old stuff, thats related to him.

I dont know if anybody, would be interested in the items ?? there are old records (unfortunally did my sister throw out all the tapes)

my mother had old private recordings, of all the Jazz concerts she visited, since the 60ies, I dont know if they would be of any use.

There are also an old Theiss/Nyegaard Jazz band, fanclub sign, with the tekst
” The Theis – Nyegaard fanclub , nothing too large nothing too small ”

Its Black letters, printed on White fabric/cloth, and its in a Black wood frame (original) .

There is also a very private thing, its Peter,s napkin holder in real Silver, with his birthday ingraved.

I just Googled Jazz collectors, and found this page, any help in getting these things to a person who will cherish them, will be nice.

There is also some old 78 Jazz records (too many to list)

my Email is jc(AT)showcars.dk if anyone wants to ask a question?

Cheers Jens Christian
