ABOUT:
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.
Drummer Manu Katché, a classically trained percussionist turned global icon, has spanned symphony orchestras, jazz, and pop, collaborating with legends like Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, Jan Garbarek, Jeff Beck, and more. Katché's versatile beats defy categorization. Awards, jazz explorations, and international acclaim showcase a career marked by innovation. Experience the rhythmic genius of Manu Katché—a true trailblazer in the world of percussion.
"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.

LOUISIANA MUSEUM OF MODERN ART
From the beginning, the founder, Knud W. Jensen, intended for the museum to be a home for modern Danish art. But after only a few years he changed course, and instead of being a predominantly Danish collection, Louisiana became an international museum with many internationally renowned works.
Louisiana’s close contact and collaboration with the international arts and cultural milieu has since been one of the museum’s greatest strengths. And also one of the main reasons that it has been possible for Louisiana to present an exhibition program that has resonated so strongly with the public over the years. Louisiana has thus achieved a standing as one of the world’s most respected exhibition venues, and in the future, it will be able to attract exhibitions and artists at a level that few other museums – either in Denmark or abroad – can match.
Knud W Jensen once said: “The more opportunities for experience that the program offers, the more Louisiana lives up to its idea – to be a ‘musical meeting place’ and a milieu that is engaged in contemporary life.”
