The band formerly known as Jazz/Takes Supergroup has changed name to Modern Standards Supergroup to align with their new album entitled “Modern Standards” (with Bill Evans on saxophone).
The four legendary musicians embark on a musical journey based on one of the Niels Lan Doky International Jazz Collective’s most successful concepts, the Jazz/Takes concert series residing at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. While the creative task of Jazz/Takes is complex, the concept is simple: Interpreting the canons of well-established genres of contemporary music – through the lens of jazz. The MODERN STANDARDS SUPERGROUP plays a mixture of their own original compositions and jazz interpretations of flagship songs from genres we all know and love. For the European tour in 2024 Ernie Watts will be replacing Bill Evans.
