THE MUSIC OF DIONNE WARWICK, BURT BACHARACH & HAL DAVID
It is becoming a regular habit for us here at the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective, that every time we put on a great show, we fall in love with it and end up asking the cast to come back and do it again for us during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival! This is certainly also the case for the Dionne Warwick/Burt Bacharach/Hal David project that we put on at the National Museum in April. So we are excited and proud to present this return engagement!
THE MUSIC OF DIONNE WARWICK, BURT BACHARACH & HAL DAVID at the National Museum of Denmark on Monday, July 9th, at 10:30 PM - as part of the Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2018.
One of music history's most enduring stars, pop/soul legend Dionne Warwick, had her first hit in 1962 with the song "Don't Make Me Over" written by composer Burt Bacharach and lyricist Hal David. This marked the beginning of a long-lasting collaboration between the three, which yielded some of the best pop music of the sixties and seventies - and numerous accolades, including more than 50 hits on the American Billboard charts, multiple Grammy Awards plus collaborations with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Gladys Knight, Barry Gibb, Frank Sinatra and of course Dionne Warwick's famous niece, Whitney Houston.
Bacharach had come up with an unorthodox style all his own that could be embraced literally by everyone from teenagers to oldsters and Dionne Warwick became the golden muse for one of the most prolific and all-embracing songwriting teams who shaped the music of their time. Songs like "Walk On By", "I Say A Little Prayer", "Close To You", "Heartbreaker", "That’s What Friends Are For", "Message To Michael", "This Girl’s In Love With You", "What The World Needs Now", "A House Is Not A Home", "Alfie", "The Look Of Love" and "Any One Who Had A Heart" have become iconic songs, largely because of Dionne Warwick.
Don't hesitate to join our celebration of Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach and Hal David and journey with us through our favorites songs of theirs, in special renditions performed by four of our top artists here at the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective, including the incredible American vocalist Leandra McNair who is based in New York but who many Copenhageners have previously had the opportunity to experience at the now defunct The Standard Jazz Club in Havnegade. She will be joined by American drummer Victor Jones, renowned for his long-standing collaboration with Stan Getz, Brazilian bassist Romulo Durate who is also well-known by Copenhagen audiences from concerts with Camille Sledge and Daniel Rolim, and last but not least, Swedish pianist Calle Brickman, who has also been closely associated with The Standard Jazz Club.
