As the members of Phronesis made their way to the
front of the Christ Church sanctuary for its first set on Thursday night, they
looked more like a rock band than a jazz trio. Group leader and double bassist
Jasper Høiby looked a bit like a lankier, Nordic version of the late, great
Kurt Cobain, pianist Ivo Neame had a kind of rockabilly vibe, and drummer Anton
Eger sported a Motörhead T-shirt and the kind of haircut that was meant for
headbanging.
