Copenhagen-born, London-based bassist Jasper Hoiby has always followed a distinctive musical path. Conversations Of Hope marks the third release in his 3Elements trio project, an evolving series that focuses on his work as a composer and bandleader. For each album, Høiby assembles a new trio lineup, allowing fresh perspectives and interplay to shape the music. Høiby first came to international attention as the founder of Phronesis. Formed in 2005, this influential group challenged expectations of the modern piano ...

Jasper Høiby: Fellow Creatures: We Must Fight

Fellow Creatures is the band that bassist Jasper Høiby has assembled around himself and they are clearly a talented bunch. They would have to be, to revisit material from Høiby's previous band, Phronesis. That trio of Høiby, Anton Eger and Ivo Neame were almost hyperbolically highly regarded. A quick internet search will show how well reviewed they were, not only amongst the jazz cognoscenti, but also in the mainstream media. Much of the material on this record was ...

Slowly Rolling Camera: Silver Shadow

Apparently you can roll quite a long way in a decade, slowly or not. To jump from Slowly Rolling Camera's self-titled debut (Edition, 2014) to Silver Shadow feels like hearing two different bands entirely. Granted, they switched from vocal songs to all-instrumental pieces along the way, so just about any outfit would sound completely changed. Besides that obvious shift in tone, though, this trio's electro-jazz-hop fusion has also come a long way in itself--and yet to those who might have ...

Høiby, Hart and Neame: Thinking Big

by Geno Thackara
March 15, 2020

No one's ever accused the members of Phronesis of lacking imagination. This isn't the space to talk about that particular trio, as it comes during a gap in the action, but two of its members concurrently demonstrate that they're just as restless even in some very different contexts. Jasper Høiby Planet B Edition Records 2020 Unity has been one prime theme of bassist Jasper Hoiby's career, as eloquently shown on his solo ...

Extended Analysis

Jasper Høiby: Fellow Creatures

by Phil Barnes
August 21, 2016

Creativity is an unpredictable beast, yesterday's inspiration can soon turn stale, evaporating with the morning dew if not carefully cultivated and attended to. That idea that was once so exciting can easily become a well-worn rut, or even a trap, into which the unwary can fall. Bassist Jasper Hoiby, a third of Phronesis, appears to recognise the benefits of staying creatively fresh on this fantastic new record, explicitly taking the time to try something different, and, possibly, recharging the creative ...

Jasper Høiby: Fellow Creatures

Read "Fellow Creatures" reviewed by Roger Farbey

Taking a break from his highly (and justifiably) praised trio Phronesis, virtuoso bassist Jasper Høiby described the rationale for Fellow Creatures thus: “it's been a dream of mine for a while to start a larger ensemble and to have the option of writing for two melody instruments as well as the trio." Høiby also regards the album in three ways; first he wanted to tell a story with a whole album, establishing a relationship between the album and ...
