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. This spring sees the release of their new album Walking Dark. ‘A frenetic grooving, great young band with bags of confidence’ (Time Out).
