NIELS LAN DOKY INTERNATIONAL JAZZ COLLECTIVE PROUDLY PRESENTS
MINO CINELU, MIKE STERN & FRANÇOIS MOUTIN
Three of the world's greatest artists on their respective instruments unite for an exclusive one time-only concert at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. With the unorthodox instrumentation of guitar, percussion and acoustic bass, these prior members of groundbreaking bands such as Miles Davis, Weather Report and Herbie Hancock will take us on an eclectic musical journey through jazz, fusion, world music and beyond. An ultra rare appearance, not to be missed.
THE ARTISTS
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.
French/Martinican percussionist Mino Cinelu is arguably the world’s most prominent today. He rose to fame after joining Miles Davis’ band and appearing on the critically acclaimed We Want Miles album from 1982. Subsequently he was in the group Weather Report and has since collaborated with Sting, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Earth, Wind & Fire and many others.
French bassist François Moutin is among the most spectacular virtuosos ever heard on his instrument. After earning a doctorate in physics at age 24 he decided to become a full time musician and joined legendary French pianist Martial Solal’s Trio. Since then, he has toured worldwide with a who’s who in jazz including Peter Erskine, Randy Brecker, Michel Legrand, Niels Lan Doky and many more.
ABOUT NLD IJC
Inspired by artistic organizations such as The Royal Danish Ballet, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Cirque du Soleil, The Royal Shakespeare Company and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective is an association of prolific musicians from three different continents, Europe, North America and South America - who are devoted to presenting unique and exclusive jazz performances of the highest order, which they curate and produce themselves and which cannot be heard anywhere else.
The collective is led by jazz pianist and producer Niels Lan Doky, who was knighted by HM the Queen of Denmark, and they present their programs at prominent venues in the greater Copenhagen area such as the National Museum of Denmark, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Hotel d’Angleterre, Sølyst and Nørrero Theater.
LOUISIANA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART
From the beginning, the founder, Knud W. Jensen, intended for the museum to be a home for modern Danish art. But after only a few years he changed course, and instead of being a predominantly Danish collection, Louisiana became an international museum with many internationally renowned works.
Louisiana’s close contact and collaboration with the international arts and cultural milieu has since been one of the museum’s greatest strengths. And also one of the main reasons that it has been possible for Louisiana to present an exhibition program that has resonated so strongly with the public over the years. Louisiana has thus achieved a standing as one of the world’s most respected exhibition venues, and in the future, it will be able to attract exhibitions and artists at a level that few other museums – either in Denmark or abroad – can match.
