About:
American jazz/fusion guitarist Mike Stern is widely acclaimed as one of the most innovative, influential and original guitarists of his generation. When first exposed to a larger audience as a member of Miles Davis' celebrated comeback band of the early 1980s, Stern’s personal and refreshing blend of rock, blues and jazz influences didn’t sound like anything anyone had ever heard before. This brand new 2021 project is a natural extension of our previous work with Stern, with the challenge of JAZZ/TAKES on Heavy Metal. All of the jazz/fusion music that emerged in the 1970s was heavily rock-influenced and to a large extent guitar driven, with groups like Return To Forever and John McLaughlin’s Mahavishnu Orchestra. Join us as we explore the music of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest through the lens of jazz. Joining Mike Stern on stage are the two French twin brothers, both virtuosos in their own right, bassist François Moutin and drummer Louis Moutin. The great tenor saxophonist, Gábor Bolla, completes the line-up.

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.”
