With the release of their boundary-stretching third CD Alive (Edition Records), British/Scandinavian jazz trio Phronesis, led by Danish double bass sensation Jasper Høiby, have attracted the kind of critical recognition that only confirms their reputation as one of the most exciting and inspirational European trios to emerge in recent years. Phronesis have the ability to excite, to inspire and move people in a way that few bands are able to do. In the last few years, since the release of their second album Green Delay, Phronesis, led by bassist Jasper Hoiby, have captured the hearts and minds of British audiences and have developed a fierce reputation as one of the most formidable and remarkable pianos trios in the UK. Following standing ovations at the North Sea Jazz Festival in July 2010 and a cover feature in the UK's Jazzwise Magazine in August, this dynamic trio have since been nominated for the prestigious MOBO award for Best Jazz Act alongside such luminaries as Brad Mehldau and John McLaughlin.'...the most electrifying experience to be had in British jazz' [Ivan Hewett - The Telegraph.]'Look out for Phronesis - they might change your life!' [Sean Rafferty 'In Tune' BBC Radio 3]'Alive sounds like one of the hot UK jazz-album contenders of 2010' **** [The Guardian]'The sort of album that should get bigger jazz names quaking in their boots.' [Bass Guitar Magazine]'Alive is about as exciting as it can get without actually seeing this band live and in the flesh' **** [Jazzwise]
