NIELS LAN DOKY INTERNATIONAL JAZZ COLLECTIVE
AT LOUISIANA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART (FALL 2020)
“Jazz/Takes” (jazz renditions) of 1970s New York Punk, 1980s U.K. New Wave and 1990s Seattle Grunge - feat. Alvin Queen, Lenny white, Terri Lyne Carrington with the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective.
For the last three months of this turbulent year turned world history milestone, the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective (NLD IJC) will take up residence at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art to produce three unique, exclusive and highly innovative concert projects.
Three of the greatest African-American drummers in modern jazz will each lead their own concert alongside selected members of the NLD IJC to take us on a musical journey through jazz interpretations of repertoire and genres not previously translated through the lens of jazz.
On October 30th (2020) the legendary drummer Alvin Queen (formerly with Oscar Peterson, Horace Silver and George Benson) will host a program of Jazz/Takes on 1970s New York Punk with renditions of songs by Talking Heads, Television, Blondie, Patti Smith and The Ramones. This concert will also feature the spectacular French bass virtuoso, François Moutin, among others.
On November 27 (2020) we will submerge into Jazz/Takes on 1980s U.K. New Wave songs by The Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode, The Smiths and Simple Minds. This concert will be led by the multi-Grammy Award-winning drummer Lenny White whose work with Miles Davis (on the groundbreaking 1969 album “Bitches' Brew”) and the iconic 1970s group Return To Forever (with Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke) positions him as one of the founding fathers of jazz/fusion.
December 4 (2020) features the youngest and only female artist in the lot. With multiple Grammy Awards to her credit and past collaborations with a who’s-who in jazz (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Stan Getz and numerous others), the prolific drummer, producer and former child prodigy Terri Lyne Carrington has this year alone so far been awarded Musician of the Year and Drummer of the Year by the US Jazz Journalist Association, and she has won Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Group of the Year from Downbeat Magazine’s Critics Poll. Her concert will feature Jazz/Takes on 1990s Seattle Grunge and songs by Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam and Temple Of The Dog - alongside her close friends and contemporaries, pianist Niels Lan Doky and bassist Lars Danielsson plus, as a special guest, the Danish harmonica prodigy Mathias Heise.
The Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective is an association of prolific musicians from Europe, North America and South America, devoted to presenting unique and exclusive jazz performances of which cannot be heard anywhere else. The collective is led by pianist Niels Lan Doky, whom the international press has hailed as “the best pianist of his generation” and “one of the most important pianists that European jazz has given us in the last 45 years”.

1990​'ernes Seattle Grunge – koncert III
Den 4. december præsenterer​ vi denne koncertseries yngste og i øvrigt eneste kvindelige kunstner. Foruden mange Grammy Awards og samarbejder med jazzens største stjerner gennem hendes efterhånden lange karriere (bl.a. med Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Stan Getz og utallige andre) har den produktive trommeslager, producer og tidligere vidunderbarn, Terri​ Lyne Carrington, alene i år vundet prominente priser som 'Musician of the Year' og 'Drummer of the Year' fra the US Jazz Journalist Association, og 'Artist of the Year', 'Album of the Year' og 'Group of the Year' fra Downbeat Magazine Critics Poll.
Hendes koncert vil bestå af et Jazz/Take (jazzfortolkninger) af 1990​'ernes Seattle Grunge, herunder nyfortolkninger af sange af Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains,​ Pearl​ Jam og Temple Of The Dog.
Til koncerten medvirker hendes to nære venner og musikere af egen generation, nemlig pianisten Niels​ Lan Doky og kontrabassisten Lars​ Danielsson. Desuden​ medvirker den unge danske mundharmonika-komet Mathias​ Heise som gæst.
Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective (NLD IJC) producerer i oktober, november og december måned i samarbejde med museet tre unikke, eksklusive og innovative koncertprojekter. Tre af den moderne jazzhistories største afro-amerikanske trommeslagere - Alvin Queen, Lenny White & Terri Lyne Carrington - vil​ - i selskab med udvalgte medlemmer af NLD IJC - give en koncert hver, hvor de vil tag os på en musikalsk rejse gennem jazzfortolkninger af repertoirer og genrer, som ikke tidligere er blevet “oversat” til jazz. Se alle koncerterne her.
Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective er en sammenslutning af prominente musikere fra Europa, Nordamerika og Sydamerika, som mødes regelmæssigt for at præsentere unikke og eksklusive jazzkoncerter, som ikke kan høres nogle andre steder. Kollektivet ledes af den danske pianist Niels Lan Doky, som af den internationale presse bl.a. er blevet kaldt “sin generations bedste pianist” og “en af de mest betydningsfulde pianister som den europæiske jazzscene har fostret de seneste 45 år”.
Koncerten er støttet af Augustinus Fonden, William Demant Fonden og Gangsted Fonden.
