JASPER HOIBY - 3Elements: Conversations Of Hope - CD [MAR 27]

CD

Conversations of Hope is the third album from Jasper Hoiby's 3Elements piano trio, featuring Naima Acuna on drums and Xavi Torres on piano. At the centre is Jasper Hoiby, a composer and bandleader whose international reputation was shaped through Phronesis, the influential group formed in 2005 that redefined expectations of the modern piano trio. That grounding in structure, risk and collective momentum sits at the core of this project.The music moves fast and hits hard, shaped by clear melodic ideas, shifting time signatures and an acute sense of space. Acuna's precise, driving detail and Torres' harmonically focused piano language connect tightly with Hoiby's bass-led writing, creating music that feels urgent, physical and alert to every change in direction. Conversations of Hope, released on Edition Records, reflects a composer and bandleader refining intensity, interaction and ensemble focus with clarity and purpose.

Available on marbled green vinyl and digipak CD editions.
