Jasper Høiby - double bass

"Alive sounds like one of the hot UK jazz-album contenders of 2010" GUARDIAN ****

“The sort of album that should get bigger jazz names quaking in their boots.” BASS GUITAR MAGAZINE

"Look out for Phronesis - they might change your life!" BBC RADIO 3 'In TUNE'

"Alive is about as exciting as it can get without actually seeing this band live and in the flesh" JAZZWISE ****

"...the most electrifying experience to be had in British jazz" TELEGRAPH

"This scorching live set fizzes with a post-EST/Avishai Cohen-style energy, replete with sunny Mediterranean Brazilian flourishes and depth-charge basslines." TIMEOUT ****

"a spirited and dramatic three-way musical conversation". YORK PRESS

"Characterized by intense, bass-driven grooves in odd time signatures, lyrical melodies, and fantastic interplay, this album shows Høiby's flair as a composer, whilst framing the pure strength of the performers as contemporary improvisers."
