It is with great excitement that the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective announces its Fall 2023 program at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
Join us also on the late great Jaco Pastorius' birthday December 1st, for a spectacular celebration co-led and headlined by his son Felix Pastorius, who has earned the distinction of a world-class musician and bass virtuoso in his own right, and master drummer Lenny White. Aside from being a part of of Chick Corea's groundbreaking group Return To Forever - just like Stanley Clarke - Lenny White is also the drummer on a majority of the genre-defining albums of the entire jazz/fusion movement, including not least Jaco Pastorius' acclaimed self-titled debut album from 1976 and the Miles Davis Bitches Brew album from 1970....

The rest of our Fall program is just as compelling and not to be missed:
The excitement doesn't stop there! Embark on a musical odyssey as we proudly present jazz/fusion bass legend Stanley Clarke and his remarkable band N•4EVER. After many years of absence, Stanley Clarke returns to Denmark, gracing the Louisiana stage on November 3rd. Stanley Clarke, a true icon in the jazz and fusion realm, has been shaping the music landscape for over five decades. As a bassist, composer, and visionary, his influence is almost immeasurable just like Jaco Pastorius. N•4EVER, carefully curated by Stanley Clarke, weaves together a tapestry of sonic landscapes. Don't miss this rare occasion to witness a fusion of legendary talent and groundbreaking innovation. Join us for an evening that will etch itself into your musical memory.
. Furthermore, to start out this Fall season we proudly present our JAZZ/TAKE ON PRINCE on October 6th, featuring, among others, former Prince-drummer David "Fingers" Haynes and the breathtaking French bass virtuoso, François Moutin who will deliver instrumental jazz renditions of a selection of Prince's iconic songs, chosen by Mayte Garcia - who will also join us at Louisiana with an introductory speech to the concert. Ms. Garcia was formerly married to Prince and did five world tours as a member of his New Power Generation. Prince would have turned 65 this year which prompted the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective to initiate this jazz celebration of the iconic pop star and his timeless songs, many of which were written for or inspired by Ms. Garcia who worked with our musical director Niels Lan Doky on the preparation of this concert.
Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective præsenterer med stolthed sit efterårsprogram for 2023 på Louisiana Museet
Vær med til at fejre den nu afdøde Jaco Pastorius' fødselsdag d. 1. december med en spektakulær koncert, under ledelse af hans søn Felix Pastorius, en verdensklasse-musiker og bas virtuos ligesom sin far, dog med sin helt egen stil. Med sig på scenen har han bl.a. trommeslager-legenden Lenny White. Udover at være tidligere medlem af Chick Coreas banebrydende gruppe "Return To Forever" - præcis som Stanley Clarke - er Lenny White også trommeslageren på størstedelen af de genre-definerende albums i jazz/fusion-bevægelsen. Herunder blandt andet og ikke mindst Jaco Pastorius' meget berømte selvbetitlede debutalbum fra 1976 og Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" fra 1970.
Resten af vores efterårsprogram er mindst lige så spændende og fascinerende:
D. 3. november præsenterer vi med jazz/fusion-baslegenden Stanley Clarke med sit fantastiske band, N•4EVER. For første gang i mange år vender Stanley Clarke tilbage til Danmark og indtager Louisiana Museets koncertsal. Ydermere, til at starte denne efterårssæson præsenterer vi med stolthed JAZZ/TAKE ON PRINCE d. 6. oktober, hvor vi blandt andre har den tidligere Prince-trommeslager David "Fingers" Haynes og den franske bassovirtuos François Moutin på scenen. De vil fremføre instrumentale jazzfortolkninger af ikoniske sange af Prince, udvalgt af Mayte Garcia, der også vil bidrage med en introduktion til koncerten på Louisiana. Prince ville være fyldt 65 i år, hvilket fik Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective til at tage initiativ til denne jazzfejring af den ikoniske popstjerne og hans tidløse sange, hvoraf mange blev skrevet til eller inspireret af Ms. Garcia, der har arbejdet tæt sammen med vores musikchef Niels Lan Doky på forberedelserne til denne koncert. Ms. Garcia var tidligere gift med Prince og turnerede over hele verden som medlem af hans New Power Generation. Hendes anmelderroste erindringer "The Most Beautiful: My Life With Prince” kom på New York Times Bestseller liste.
