In 2014, Niels Lan Doky began using the term “Jazz Masterworks Series” to present live performances and modern interpretations of iconic albums that have defined the genre at the now defunct The Standard Jazz Club in Copenhagen. “Unlike Classical music, jazz is mostly improvised and as a result we don’t have written scores of masterworks that can be read and played by other artists.  But I have concluded that album recordings are the jazz world equivalent, hence the Jazz Masterworks Series concept was born.” Stellar casts of American, European and South American musicians from the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective will perform and re-interpret the following selection of masterworks albums from Jazz’s iconic canon during this years Vinterjazz festival period:

Two Oscar Peterson albums in “NIGHT TRAIN” & “WE GET REQUESTS” // The duet of duets with “ELLA & LOUIS” by Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald // Brazilian summer in the Danish winter w/ Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd’s “JAZZ SAMBA” // and the formidable work “AFFINITY” by Bill Evans & Toots Thielemans.

Guests may add a PRIX-FIXE DINNER or LUNCH before or after the performance with a custom menu developed by the 5-star Hotel d’Angleterre culinary team exclusively for our pop up during Copenhagen Jazz Festival, including two courses (appetizer and entree) as well as a glass of champagne, glass of red wine, glass of white wine, coffee and tea for 975 DKK/person. Add at ticket checkout for any show. Jazz fans may alternatively book a table at d’Angleterre’s Michelin-starred MARCHAL restaurant.

Following each night’s last show, the d’Angleterre’s BALTHAZAR CHAMPAGNE BAR transforms into the official post concert hang-out where you can meet some of our musicians who will take turns as DJs playing their favorite jazz records for everyone to enjoy.
