Northsea Nights is a live album by American jazz guitarist Joe Pass and double bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen that was released in 1980.

Reception.

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and stated:”Guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels Pedersen, a pair of talented virtuosi, are typically outstanding on this live set of standards. With the exception of their ad-lib “Blues for the Hague,” all of the material would qualify as overdone through the years (such as “‘Round Midnight” and “Stella by Starlight”) but the duo makes these veteran pieces sound fresh and new again.”

Track listing:
“If I Were a Bell” (Frank Loesser) – 7:02
“‘Round Midnight” (Thelonious Monk, Cootie Williams) – 9:28
“How Deep is the Ocean?” (Irving Berlin) – 6:12
“Stella by Starlight” (Victor Young, Ned Washington) – 8:38
“I Can’t Get Started” (Ira Gershwin, Vernon Duke) – 7:08
“Blues for the Hague” (Joe Pass, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen) – 6:57
