Jasper Høiby’s 3Elements (DK/ES)
The grounding in structure, risk and collective momentum sits at the core of this project. The music in ”Conversation of Hope”, moves fast and hits hard, shaped by clear melodic ideas, shifting time signatures and an acute sense of space.
Both from Spain, Xavi and Naima are some of the most in-demand musicians of their generation, playing in a number of high calibre projects across the world. In 3Elements Acuña’s precise, driving detail and Torres’ harmonically focused piano language connect tightly with Høiby’s bass-led writing, creating music that feels urgent, physical and alert to every change in direction. Conversations of Hope, reflects a composer and bandleader refining intensity, interaction and ensemble focus with clarity and purpose.
“3Elements offers a compelling, uncompromising, and robust sonic palette reminiscent of the groove-centric Phronesis, whilst being enriched by Høiby’s unmistakably charismatic bass sound”. – UKVIBE, 5-stars.
3Elements has previously produced two captivating releases, each anchored by Høiby. The first album, Three Elements: Earthness (2023) showcases rising stars of the London jazz scene, Noah Stoneman and Luca Caruso while the second album, Three Elements: Like Water (2024) features the stellar sounds of South Korea’s Chaerin Im and Jamie Peet.
