““Fellow Creatures…finds the Danish bassist pushing beyond the tightly-wound trio parameters of his work with Phronesis and into the realms of extended ensemble barrier-busting…””
“Jasper Høiby has internationally been one of the most dangerous Danish jazz names to break through internationally in the last decade. That Høiby to an unusual degree has a philosophical streak and an ambition to play a part in the social debate, helps to distinguish his projects from the rest of the Nordic wave. Høiby will not only indulge with his naturally lyrical bass sound, but also poke, prod and provoke reaction and reflection.”
““Høiby fashions his pieces so the lines between freedom and form are beautifully blurred, the music flows as a tumultuous organic whole –
everything belongs, nothing is forced.””
