Phronesis

‘One of the most exciting bands on the planet today!’ - JAZZWISE. With a reputation for spellbinding, roller-coaster live performances, twice MOBO-nominated Anglo-Scandinavian trio Phronesis captured the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide. Formed in 2005, the trio performed widely across Europe taking their engaging grooves, irresistible rhythmic energy and breathtaking group interplay to concert stages and festivals across the world from Morocco to Brazil and Australia to North America, (where the trio headlined at seven jazz festivals in the summer of 2017). In March 2017 Phronesis released their seventh album, ‘The Behemoth’, recorded in Germany with the hr Frankfurt Radio Big Band – a special commissioned project to celebrate the band’s tenth anniversary, for which composer/arranger Julian Argüelles created innovative big band arrangements of the trio’s compositions drawn from their entire back catalogue. In October 2017 Phronesis won the ‘Jazz Ensemble of the Year’ award at the UK’s Parliamentary Jazz Awards. The band's eighth and final recording 'We Are All' was released in 2018. In 2020 Phronesis announced that they would be taking an "extended break" to allow the band members Jasper Høiby, Ivo Neame & Anton Eger to pursue their own individual projects.
