Phronesis
Scandinavian / British jazz trio Phronesis excite, inspire and move people in a way that only a few bands are able.
Led by London-based Danish double-bass player Jasper Hoiby, their charismatic live performances have captured the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide and prompted Jon Newey (editor of Jazzwise Magazine) to describe them as 'the most exciting and imaginative piano trio since EST.' In 2010, Phronesis developed a fierce reputation as one of the most formidable trios in the UK and in 2011 the trio received an outstanding reception on their first tour of North America, including the Rochester, Montreal and Ottawa International Jazz Festivals.
This year the trio rose to the peak of their creative power with their fourth album, Walking Dark, described in a five-star review by BBC Music Magazine as 'arguably the best disc yet from one of the best of the bunch of contemporary bands.'
