Pianist Niels Lan Doky goes through several different overlapping genres on this 1990 recordings which includes a session apiece recorded in New York and Copenhagen. From pieces featuring the rock-ish guitar of John Abercrombie and (on one song) Randy Brecker's electrified trumpet to some pop-ish originals and straight ahead playing worthy of Oscar Peterson, the pianist excels in every setting. Lan Doky is a major talent and, although the Danish pianist has not become a household in the United States, he has been well documented. Jazz fans owe it to themselves to discover him. © Scott Yanow
