American jazz/fusion guitarist Mike Stern is widely acclaimed as one of the most innovative, influential, and original guitarists of his generation. When first exposed to a larger audience as a member of Miles Davis' celebrated comeback band of the early 1980s, Stern’s personal and refreshing blend of rock, blues, and jazz influences didn’t sound like anything anyone had ever heard before.

"Jazz/Take on Jimi Hendrix" is just the beginning of our Fall 2024 series. Join us on September 20th when we explore Kurt Cobain & Nirvana through the lens of jazz with saxophone icon Bill Evans leading an international stellar ensemble, and on December 6th when Amy Winehouse is interpreted by the great Manu Katché on drums and Felix Pastorius on bass, among others. Furthermore, we present an exclusive experience on November 8th when Niels Lan Doky performs his first-ever solo piano concert in Denmark as part of his new concert series “The Radius Of Now”, showcasing his original compositions, as well as improvisational ‘Explorations’ - spontaneous, abstract-poetic creations that delve deep into the present moment, rendering each performance a singular and extraordinary experience that cannot be replicated.
