ABOUT:
It is with great excitement that the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective announces its Fall 2023 program at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
To start out the 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 a part 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.

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.”
