ABOUT:
Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective’s successful Jazz/Take series once again returns to Louisiana in 2022 with five exciting new Jazz/Takes featuring some of today’s greatest artists in jazz. On November 4th the Jazz/Takes Supergroup will host a program of Jazz/Take highlights from current and past seasons.
Harvey Mason’s sound and drum style is unavoidable and you must have heard him play. Mason is one of the most recorded drummers of all time. His credentials reflect mind-boggling versatility (Björk, James Brown, Celine Dion, Duke Ellington, etc). His most famous jazz work includes the groundbreaking Herbie Hancock album “Headhunters”. Darryl Jones rose to fame touring with Miles Davis and in 1985, he became a member of Sting's first solo band. He later joined the Rolling Stones and has toured and recorded with the band since 1994. Saxophonist Bill Evans began his career at age 21 with Miles Davis. To date, he has recorded 26 solo CDs and toured with the biggest names in jazz. Aside from performing, arranging, composing, and producing music Niels Lan Doky has worked as a film director, author, venue owner, and speaker. The international press have called him "the best pianist of his generation" and “one of the most important pianists that European jazz has given us in the last 45 years”
The Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective (NLD IJC) will between June and December (excl. July) take up residence at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art to produce five unique, exclusive and highly innovative concert projects. Terri Lyne Carrington and Alvin Queen will each lead their own concert alongside selected members of the NLD IJC to take us on a musical journey through jazz interpretations of repertoire and genres not previously translated through the lens of jazz. Furthermore, the Modern Standards Supergroup (Billy Cobham, Randy Brecker, Bill Evans, Linley Marthe & Niels Lan Doky) will interpret 2020’s Pop Hits.

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.”
