JASPER HØIBY’S THREE ELEMENTS

As the founding member of Phronesis, one of the most talked about and acclaimed European bands during the past decade, Høiby presents a new piano trio with a melodic, muscular and bold sound held together with a visceral, highly kinetic musical interplay.

Further exploring the trio cosmos he build with Phronesis Høiby is recording with three different lineups, each adding a specific expression, flavour and perspective to his already sophisticated piano trio universe.

3Elements: Earthness includes: Noah Stoneman (piano) and Luca Caruso (drums). Released on Edition Records Nov 24, 2023.

3Elements: ‘Like Water’ features - Chaerin Im (piano) and Jamie Peet (drums). Released on Edition Records May 31st, 2024.

Next trio will be recorded and released in 2025.

"The brilliant bass player, Jasper Høiby, outstanding music"

- Gilles Peterson

“The intricate, information-dense linear arrangements and tightly plotted rhythm tracks that characterised Phronesis are here relaxed so that the music is allowed to flow and breathe.”

- Editors Choice, JAZZWISE ****

“3 Elements” thus offers an uncompromising and robust sound palette, which recalls the groove of Phronesis while being distinguished by the richness of the charismatic and unique sound of Høiby's bass."

- Radio France

Mesmerising interplay blends perfectly with virtuosic soloing, the three disparate elements combining seamlessly to become the greater whole.

- UK VIBE *****

“The prolific bassist and ex-Phronesis leader is back and better than ever as he ventures into the latest phase of his unwinding musical career.”

- Presto Music, Barney Whittaker

“Highly Energetic Equilibrate Jazz”
