It is with great pride and excitement that the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective announces its Fall 2023 program at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
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. She is an accomplished dancer, choreographer, singer, actress and philanthropist, and her acclaimed memoir "The Most Beautiful: My Life With Prince" became a New York Times Bestseller. Jazz was a big inspiration to Prince. Both of his parents were jazz musicians and according to Mayte Garcia he listened to Miles Davis' Kind of Blue album every single night for a period of time. 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....

The rest of our Fall program is just as compelling and not to be missed:
The two most acclaimed, innovative, legendary and influential jazz/fusion bassists of the past five decades are undoubtedly Stanley Clarke and Jaco Pastorius, and we are thrilled to present Stanley Clarke in Denmark for the first time in many years, appearing on November 3 with his own amazing band called N•4EVER. 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 an alumnus 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.
Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective præsenterer med stolthed sit efterårsprogram for 2023 på Louisiana Museet
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. Ms. Garcia var tidligere gift med Prince og turnerede over hele verden som medlem af hans New Power Generation. Hun er danser, koreograf, sanger, skuespiller og filantrop, og hendes anmelderroste erindringer "The Most Beautiful: My Life With Prince” kom på New York Times Bestseller liste. Jazz var en stor inspiration for Prince. Begge hans forældre var jazzmusikere, og ifølge Mayte Garcia lyttede han til Miles Davis' album "Kind of Blue" hver eneste aften i en periode. 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.
Resten af vores efterårsprogram er mindst lige så spændende og fascinerende:
De to mest anerkendte, innovative, legendariske og indflydelsesrige jazz/fusion-bassister de sidste fem årtier er uden tvivl Stanley Clarke og Jaco Pastorius, og vi er meget begejstrede for at kunne præsentere Stanley Clarke i Danmark for første gang i mange år. Han optræder d. 3. november med sit fantastiske band, N•4EVER. Vær desuden 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.
