Edition Records are set to celebrate the tenth anniversary of internationally acclaimed trio Phronesis – which features bassist Jasper Høiby, pianist Ivo Neame and drummer Anton Eger – with a special vinyl edition of their most recent album, Life To Everything.
The band have released three albums with Edition, including their 2010 label debut, Alive, which came top or the Jazzwise Albums Of The Year critics poll that year.
Life To Everything is to be released on a double vinyl version on 1 May when the band perform their ‘Pitch Black’ set at Cheltenham Jazz Festival. The original album was recorded live at the Cockpit Theatre as part of the 2013 EFG London Jazz Festival, and the newly issued vinyl version will include three bonus tracks recorded live at the Copenhagen Jazzhouse.
Edition are also set to release a vinyl version of rising star Finnish trumpeter Verneri Pohjola’s debut for the label, Bullhorn, which has already received a rave review in Jazzwise, with Stuart Nicholson stating the album takes “its place among the truly finest albums of recent times”. The album will be released on 30 April to coincide with International Jazz Day.
