To date, he has recorded 26 solo CDs. He currently leads bands with various artists including Robben Ford,
Mike Stern and Randy Brecker, and continues to tour extensively around the world.

In addition to his concert activities, arranging, composing, and producing music, Niels Lan Doky has worked as a film director, author, promoter, and speaker
and was knighted by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.
The international press called him "the best pianist of his generation" and "one of the most important pianists
that European jazz has bestowed on us in the last 45 years".

Harvey Mason is one of the most-played drummers of all time.
His credentials reflect an amazing versatility (Björk, James Brown, Celine Dion, Duke Ellington, and Earth Wind & Fire are just the tip of the iceberg).
His best-known work in jazz includes the groundbreaking Herbie Hancock album Headhunters, for which he also co-wrote the hit Chameleon.

Bobby McFerrin, Victor Wooten, Jeff Coffin, David Gilmour and many others.
