#DebbieSledge with the Niels Lan Doky TRIO

The incredible vocalist Debbie Sledge of the legendary group Sister Sledge (”We Are Family”) has taken all audiences by storm ever since teaming up with the acclaimed jazz pianist Niels Lan Doky and his trio.  

Their intimate musical journey through compelling renditions of soul and jazz classics and lesser known gems - has garnered standing ovations every single night.

In a recent article in the Danish National newspaper Berlingske, journalist Kim Flyvbjerg wrote: ”How she succeeded to make Stevie Wonder’s 1973 up-tempo song ”Living For The City” segue effortlessly into ”My Funny Valentine” - and simultaneously deliver one of the most heartfelt renditions of this classic song that I have ever heard -  is a mystery to me. But it worked. To the point where not a single hair on the back of my neck was lying down”.


A highly unusual concert experience with a deeply engaged and open minded musical conversation going on at all times between the four performers on stage,  makes it a collective group effort rather than a conventional vocalist-with-accompaniment setting. Debbie explains: ”The great thing about working with Niels is that everything is possible. Nothing is excluded”.
