The Old News: Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen is a monster of a jazz bassist. The Big News: Soloist Renee Rosnes has the makings of a new world-class mainstream pianist. This 1995 session from the Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen Trio, Friends Forever, dedicated to Kenny Drew, may not break virgin ground, but its discriminating pleasures are too bracing to be ignored. B+
