Led by the much loved and admired Danish bassist Jasper Høiby, with London-based Ivo Neame, originally from Kent, on piano, and the Norway-born Swede Anton Eger on drums, Phronesis have built on the inspiration of bassist Avishai Cohen and the New Melodic strand of jazz.

That means their style values both melody and crucially intense, emotionally involving improvisation structured around an open musical architecture that converts groove into flow via performance reflex and group empathy and conjures a unique sound that places them firmly state of the art in terms of the acoustic piano/bass/drums tradition that no other band have achieved in Europe since EST.

Their latest album Parallax released earlier this year is the latest in an already extensive and much acclaimed discography over the last nine years.
