Chris Minh Doky (born 7 February 1969) is a Vietnamese- Danish jazz bassist. [1] He is the younger brother of jazz pianist Niels Lan Doky. [2] He released his first album, Appreciation, in 1989 [3] four years after picking up the instrument.
As a sideman, he has collaborated with Mike Stern, [4] Michael Brecker, [5] Trilok Gurtu, Ryuichi Sakamoto, [6] and David Sanborn.
His sound is often described as a blend of his native Scandinavian tradition with the feel of his adopted homeland, the United States. [7] He was married to Tanja, a lady-in-waiting to Denmark's Crown Princess Mary, but they divorced in 2014. [8]
