Chris Minh Doky: The Nomad Diaries (2006)

Chris Minh Doky is one of the most exciting and most talented bassists in the world today and he has a strong following in the European jazz/electronica scene.
Inspired by the life of a traveling musician and conceived as a series of short stories, renowned Danish bassist Chris Minh Doky's new Blue Note album "The Nomad Diaries" marries his trademark melodic jazz with contemporary electronica, drawing on Doky's work as a producer and his love of artists such as Bjork, Nils Petter Molvaer and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Framed by glitchy electronics and ambient soundscapes Doky's beautiful melodic bass playing and improvisations draw heavily on European jazz. The appearance of US heavyweights such as Mike Stern and Randy and Michael Brecker (with one of his last studio recordings just prior to his death) make The Nomad Diaries a true trans-Atlantic jazz album and one of the years most exciting releases.
