Chris Minh Doky

Chris Minh Doky is exactly the kind of musician I treasure. A Copenhagen-born jazz bassist, he picked up the double bass at sixteen and released his debut album just four years later, which tells you how much talent and discipline he packed into a short span. The roster of artists who have trusted him, Mike Stern, Michael Brecker, Trilok Gurtu and Ryuichi Sakamoto among them, says everything about his standing. Coming from a deeply musical family, with a jazz-pianist brother and a Danish national honor to his name, he represents substance over flash. I have endless respect for a true craftsman who holds the music up from the bottom end.
