Jasper Høiby's Fellow Creatures 

Fellow Creatures is an adaptable project with fluid line-ups built around collaboration of like-minded and creative souls combining a strong sense of groove, driving energy with atmospheric textures and contrapuntal rhythms.

First release entitled ‘Fellow Creatures’ (2016) features: Mark Lockheart (saxes), Laura Jurd (trumpet and flugel), Will Barry (piano) and Corrie Dick (drums and percussion). The writing is inspired by a brilliant book by Canadian author Naomi Klein called, ‘This Changes Everything’. The book discusses what we have to do to make sure that we don’t devour this beautiful planet, along with all it’s natural resources. How can we seize this environmental crisis and transform our failed economic system to built something radically better for everyone.

Next instalment will include a recording a selection of selected Phronesis songs arranged by Alex Hitchcock for a new lineup including: Alex Hitchcock (sax), Ketija Ringa Karahona (flute), Saied Silbak (oud), Xavi Torres (piano) and Luca Caruso (drums). STAY TUNED!

“..rhythm-twisting struts are played with the breeziness of a carefree street band.”

 “Strong themes and clear narratives balance optimism and doubt, reflecting the albums inspiration – the radical ecology of Naomi Kleins book This Changes Everything.”
