by Roger Farbey

He also has recorded over a dozen albums under his name and subsequently leading several line-ups including his latest quartet Tetra. This is the ...
Jasper Høiby: Fellow Creatures
by Phil Barnes
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 ...
Jasper Høiby: Fellow Creatures
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."

by Roger Farbey
Parallax (noun) “the apparent displacement of an observed object due to a change in the position of the observer."

The ...

Phronesis: Life To Everything
by Bruce Lindsay
In the contemporary world of jazz, when bands form, record and split with reckless disregard for longevity, Phronesis seems to have been around forever. Danish bassist Jasper Høiby formed the trio, which also includes British pianist Ivo Neame and Swedish drummer Anton Eger, in 2005. It approaches the end of its first decade by releasing Life ...
Slowly Rolling Camera: Slowly Rolling Camera
by Bruce Lindsay
A band name--and album title--like Slowly Rolling Camera gives little if anything away about the nature of the music to be experienced on this, the debut album from the UK-based quartet. Good--for surprises can be fun. Once the music becomes familiar--the beautiful, imaginative and ambitious compositions become firmly fixed in the mind--the surprise is revealed to ...
