Alex Riel spillede med NHØP gennem hele hans karriere og sammen blev de kaldt “The Great Danes”. Nu fejrer Riel og Bo Stief deres gode ven og kollega sammen med de to yngre danske musikere Hans Ulrik og Henrik Gunde, som på hver deres måde forvalter den musikalske arv, som NHØP efterlod sig. Foruden en jazzoplevelse i verdensklasse, giver denne aften også̊ plads til anekdoter om NHØP, der indtog alles hjerter med sin formidable teknik, når han ubetinget stod på scenen i musikkens tjeneste.
