JAZZ MASTERWORKS SERIES

@ HOTEL D’ANGLETERRE // July 3-12, 2020

In 2014, Niels Lan Doky began using the term “Jazz Masterworks Series” to present live performances and modern interpretations of iconic albums that have defined the genre at the now defunct The Standard Jazz Club in Copenhagen. “Unlike Classical music, jazz is mostly improvised and as a result we don’t have written scores of masterworks that can be read and played by other artists.  But I have concluded that album recordings are the jazz world equivalent, hence the Jazz Masterworks Series concept was born.” Stellar casts of American, European and South American musicians from the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective will perform and re-interpret the following selection of masterworks albums from Jazz’s iconic canon: Oscar Peterson’s “Night Train” // “Ella and Louis” by Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald // Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd’s “Jazz Samba” // “Velvet Mood” by Billie Holiday.

DOKY // WILLIAMS // WHITE

@ HOTEL D’ANGLETERRE // July 3-11, 2020

A trans-generational all-star group featuring two of jazz history’s most celebrated and influential figures, bassist Buster Williams (USA) and drummer Lenny White (USA), in a trio led by the legendary Danish jazz pianist Niels Lan Doky (DK/USA).  “One of the most important pianists that European jazz has given us in the last 45 years” (El Diario, Spain) unites with two American masters that played alongside Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Nancy Wilson, Sarah Vaughan, Sonny Rollins, Chick Corea, Return to Forever, Wayne Shorter, and Jaco Pastorius. Williams’ first European tour in ‘63 yielded one of Jazz’s classic albums, Sarah Vaughn’s “Sassy Swings The Tivoli” recorded live here in Copenhagen and produced by Quincy Jones. After playing on the groundbreaking Miles Davis’ “Bitches Brew” in 1969, Lenny White went on to be the drummer in some of the most influential projects of the decades that followed.
