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.
Concluding our Fall 2024 series on December 6, join us for a soul-stirring tribute led by the impeccable Manu Katché on drums, presenting JAZZ/TAKE ON AMY WINEHOUSE. On stage, he will be joined by the young talent Marta Wajdzik on alto and soprano saxophone, the legendary Felix Pastorius on electric bass, and Calle Brickman on piano. Together, they will delve into the timeless repertoire of Amy Winehouse, creating an unforgettable night where Winehouse's soulful compositions merge with the improvisational spirit of jazz—a powerful and emotional homage to a musical icon.

Katché's versatile beats defy categorization. Awards, jazz explorations, and international acclaim showcase a career marked by innovation.

"Jazz/Take on Amy Winehouse" 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 September 20th when we explore Kurt Cobain & Nirvana through the lens of jazz with saxophone icon Bill Evans leading an international stellar ensemble. Furthermore, we present an exclusive experience 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 and 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.
