Phronesis - North America Tour in June & July 2011! (Update)

PhronesisDescribed as “…the most electrifying experience to be had in British jazz” by The Telegraph and“the most exciting and imaginative piano trio since EST” by Jon Newey, Editor of Jazzwise, London-based Danish bass player Jasper Høiby’s Phronesis have become the fastest rising name on the UK’s current jazz scene.

I picked Phronesis' album Alive as one of "Donna's Unconventional Top 5 Albums for 2010". I'm excited to let you know that they are about to embark on their first tour of the US - YAY! 

‘This extraordinary recording is one of the most talked about live piano trio releases in years and created a widespread buzz in the jazz media on its release’ – Jazzwise.

Phronesis have developed a fierce reputation for their exhilarating live shows and charismatic group interplay. Following last year’s acclaimed performances in Europe at the Banlieues Bleues,North Sea and London Jazz Festivals, they will bring their compelling, lyrical melodies and groove-driven depth-charge basslines to the USA for the first time in June 2011.

In the words of Sean Rafferty (BBC Radio 3 ‘In Tune’) – “Look out for Phronesis – they might change your life!” 

Phronesis - Jasper Høiby [double bass], Ivo Neame [piano] and Anton Eger [drums].
