Phronesis

Cast your eyes upwards to the cover of the latest album from Phronesis, set to be released by the trio’s long time label Edition on 7 April. The photo was taken by composer Dave Maric. Reactions to its look have been coming in on social media today including one comment from a long-time fan, Mary James, that the cover is “as global as their stature and ambitions yet it has the fragility of a glass decoration.” On the album recorded in the round (alluded to in the visual language of the photo, perhaps, as well as its urban origins) at the Cockpit theatre in London over three nights back in November during the London Jazz Festival, it was mixed in Copenhagen and mastered in Stockholm last month. Life to Everything tracks are drummer Anton Eger’s ‘Urban Control’, pianist Ivo Neame’s ‘Phraternal’, bassist Jasper Høiby’s ‘Behind Bars’, Neame’s ‘Song For Lost Nomads’, Høiby’s ’Winds 2 The Mind’ and 'Nine Lives’, Neame’s 'Deep Space Dance’, and Eger’s 'Herne Hill’ and 'Dr Black.’
