Niels Lan Doky's 20/20 Danish Tour
From September 10 - October 24, 2020, the Knight of Jazz will embark on his first national tour of Denmark in over a decade. “NIELS LAN DOKY 20/20” will visit 16 different cities across the country with his Danish trio - which, since 2011, has yielded significant international acclaim, not least in countries like Japan, South Korea, Spain and the U.K.. Their 2014 album entitled “Scandinavian Standards” was even released in the USA by Warner Music. The trio’s career has reached new heights during 2019, in part due to the international release of their album “Improvisation On Life” which was initially released in Asia in 2017 but only in the rest of the world this past Summer. A culmination occurred at this year’s San Javier Jazz Festival in Spain where the trio’s concert yielded standing ovations and an unprecedented stream of major critical acclaim. The Spanish press wrote statements such as “Playing from the heart, raising the audience some centimeters above the ground”, “Music that penetrates you deep into the spirit,” “A recital full of beauty” and “Managed to leave the audience in love”.
Aside from himself, Niels Lan Doky’s trio comprises two Danish musicians who are a generation younger than their leader, and among the greatest new jazz talents to emerge out of Denmark in recent decades, bassist Tobias Dall and drummer Niclas Bardeleben. For many years, Niels Lan Doky has belonged to the international elite of jazz artists and he has released over 40 albums under his own name and won numerous awards, accolades, gold records and more - both in Europe, North America and Asia. He began his professional career already at the age of 13 and has since played with a majority of the greatest artist in jazz and performed for the world’s elite, including Pope John Paul II, Roger Moore, a.o.. On her 70th birthday in 2010, HM Queen Margrethe II of Denmark knighted Niels Lan Doky. Furthermore, he has given the TED Talk "How Jazz Wisdom Will Change Your Life" and released the book “Improvisation - in music, at work and in life” (Gyldendal). And his first feature film as a director, "Between a Smile and a Tear", was released in theatres in 2005 to great critical acclaim.
