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.On November 8, experience an intimate and introspective journey with Niels Lan Doky on solo piano for the very first time in Denmark. Doky performed solo at Carnegie Recital Hall in New York decades ago and had a solo tour in Japan. Now, 25 years later, he is ready to embark on a new journey with 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. This solo performance is a rare opportunity to witness the raw and unfiltered talent of one of jazz's luminaries.
Hailed as “the best pianist of his generation” (by Swing Journal, Japan), “fresh and provocative” (by the New York Times), and “one of the most important European pianists of the last 50 years” (by El Diario, Spain), Danish-born Niels Lan Doky has graced the most prestigious stages globally (Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Recital Hall, Lincoln Center, Blue Note, etc.), collaborating with the greatest jazz luminaries (Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, David Sanborn, Ray Brown, and many more), and classical orchestras such as the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and the Copenhagen Philharmonic. Furthermore, Doky was knighted by HM Queen Margrethe II of Denmark in 2010. As the esteemed Bösendorfer Artist, Doky’s unparalleled tapestries of notes transport the instrument’s unmatched beauty to concert stages worldwide, inviting audiences to experience the sparkling storytelling within his music. Despite its deep virtuosity and complexity, his music is simultaneously profoundly emotional and broadly appealing.
