COPENHAGEN JAZZ FESTIVAL 2022

at the Copenhagen Opera House restaurant ALMANAK

There was no better way to close our residency at Almanak for the Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2022 than with our tribute to Ray Charles & Aretha Franklin featuring Thaddeus Sledge & Mai Lan Doky on vocals, Ken Linh Doky on piano, Tobias Dall on bass and Victor Jones on drums!

Thanks to everyone who joined us during the Copenhagen Jazz festival! Re-live some of the moments below. Photos by the great Kannan Palanisamy.

During the Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2022 we had our pop-up jazz club June 25-July 10 at one of the city’s most prestigious venues. Featuring international jazz of the highest order & an exclusive dining experience at the Opera House restaurant Almanak.

Jazz legends, historic material, and the most passionate fans came together for exclusive presentations. You could experience tributes to Herbie Hancock, Bud Powell, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and much more.

ABOUT JAZZ MASTERWORKS SERIES:

In 2014, Niels Lan Doky began using the term “Jazz Masterworks Series” to present live performances and modern re-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's 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 meet up periodically to perform and re-interpret selected masterworks albums from Jazz’s iconic canon.
