It is with great excitement that the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective announces its Fall 2024 program at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.

Join us on September 20 for a groundbreaking exploration of jazz and grunge with JAZZ/TAKE ON KURT COBAIN & NIRVANA, featuring the great Bill Evans on saxophones leading an incredible international band, with Gary Husband on piano, Linley Marthe on electric bass, and Nicolas Viccaro on drums. Together, they will present a new angle on the raw energy of Nirvana's iconic works through the lens of jazz. This ensemble promises an evening of musical innovation, where the worlds of jazz and grunge converge in a harmonious fusion.

Saxophonist Bill Evans began his career at age 21 with Miles Davis, which helped launch more than three decades of musical exploration leading his own bands. To date, he has recorded 26 solo CDs. Currently, he is co-leading bands with multiple artists, including Robben Ford, Mike Stern, and Randy Brecker, and continues to tour extensively worldwide.

"Jazz/Take on Kurt Cobain & Nirvana" is just the tip of the iceberg of our Fall 2024 series. Join us on August 30th when we explore Jimi Hendrix through the lens of jazz with the great Mike Stern on guitar, 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.
