Phronesis

My latest project 'Phronesis' was formed during the winter of 2005 in cold Copenhagen. We have played the Copenhagen jazzfestival and a Tour of London in the autumn 2006. We recorded our debut album in February 2007 and it's now available! You can order it online, buy it on or get it from jazzkælderen in Denmark or other record stores around the UK.
Here's a few quotes:
"When i heard Jaspers music i felt the simplicity that is most important as well as the challenging moments. Jasper is on his way to being a great band leader as he is allready a good composer and bassist. I know im going to keep listening." [Avishai Cohen]
"..his library of trio compositions create a coherent whole, with a subtle, yet invigorating mood..Høiby’s instrumental abilities easily match his compositional flair." [John L Walters – The Gurdian]
"..it is three extremely gifted musicians, you meet on this record." [Boris Rabinowitch, Politiken-DK]
"..well named, it contains eleven pieces of fiercely interactive, often climactic music growing naturally from the considerable individual strengths of its three participants." [Chris Parker, Vortex]
"I thought it was absolutely superb; just the first couple of bars knocked me out." [Chris Hodgkins of Jazz Services]
"The material comprises entirely of Hoiby originals and reveals him to be an excellent writer with an unfailing ear for a good tune. [Ian Mann, www.24dash.com]
”A frenetic grooving, great young band with bags of confidence..” [Time Out London]
”Høiby’s rich and sophisticated piano trio... traveling down deep, smouldering grooves.” [Daniel Spicer - Jazzwise]
Phronesis mixes the thoughtful and composed with the raw and spontaineous. They serve you vibe and atmosphere on a jumping bed of melodic and dancing grooves.. Hope you enjoy,
Love Jasper
...'Phronesis is the ability to think about how and why we should act in order to change things, and especially to change our lives for the better'...
