PHRONESIS
Ivo Neame piano, Jasper Høiby bas, Anton Eger drums
Two remarkable UK jazz bands perform at the Bimhuis this month: Kairos 4Tet and Phronesis. Composer/bassist Jasper Høiby and pianist Ivo Neame take part in both bands and are recognized as rising stars in the British jazz scene.
London-based, Copenhagen-born acoustic bassist Jasper Høiby is like a younger version of Dave Holland: agile, powerful and with the talent for writing contemporary jazz that leaves a lasting impression. He can blindly trust his band members in Phronesis, the pianist Ivo Neame and drummer Anton Eger, with whom he travels the most devious rhythmic routes with great ease.
‘A frenetic grooving, great young band with bags of confidence’ (Time Out).
The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6.30 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
