How Jazz Wisdom Will Change Your Life | Niels Lan Doky | TEDxCopenhagen

We are self-taught improvisers: our lives are unpredictable and we have no choice but to navigate simply by improvising. Imagine if you could shift from a self-taught improviser to a conscious master. What would it be like?

The accomplished jazz pianist Niels Lan Doky believes that by bringing 'jazz' improvisation into everyday life, new opportunities are suddenly revealed.

The professional improviser introduces us to those powerful tools and techniques, which could help ourselves to become more creative in challenging situations and spot new opportunities in our lives.

Niels Lan Doky is a jazz pianist, composer, producer, movie director, lecturer and writer. He has written the book Improvisation – I musikken, på arbejdet og i livet (Improvisation – In music, work and life) and is also co-founder & music director of the jazz club, The Standard.
