Jasper Høiby – Bass

Høiby started to play the double bass in Denmark before he moved to the UK in 2001 to study at the Royal Academy of Music (RAM) in London, where he got into the London jazz scene. His time at the Academy led to membership of the Loop Collective, where he later collaborated with pianist Ivo Neame. Høiby established himself as a bassist in London’s jazz scene, with performers such as vibes player Jim Hart, saxophonist Mark Lockheart and vocalist Julia Biel. Høiby formed Phronesis in 2005.

This Høiby performance comes from saxophonist Marius Neset’s 2011 recording ‘Golden Xplosion!’ but it is, I believe, a Høiby composition. It’s a funky, bluesy, edgy kind of thing but great fun to read as it is trying to trip you up all of the time.
