Niels Lan Doky
River Of Time
(Inner Adventures Records)
★★★★
NIELS LAN DOKY is a Copenhagen pianist with Vietnamese roots who has spent much of his jazz life in the US, to which he migrated in the early 1980s, collaborating with a host of musical eminences such as Charlie Haden, Woody Shaw, Bobby Hutcherson and John McLaughlin.
River of Time, recorded in Denmark with bassist Tobias Dall and drummer Niclas Bardeleben, is suffused with a haunting Nordic lyricism, full of subliminal melody and evocations of the sea and nature.
