The music is fast and forceful, built around sharp melodic ideas, shifting time signatures and a keen sense of space. Acuña’s precise, propulsive drumming and Torres’ harmonically rich piano playing lock seamlessly into Høiby’s bass-driven compositions. Together they create music that is urgent, physical and alert to every shift in direction.
Released on Edition Records, Conversations of Hope finds a composer and bandleader pushing intensity, interaction and ensemble focus with clarity and purpose.
Jasper Høiby – double bass
