London Jazz Award nomination Phronesis: 'Pitch Black – premiering at Brecon – was conceived as a natural live follow-up to the band’s 2009 album Green Delay, written after band leader and double-bassist Jasper Høiby learned that his sister had gone blind. [...] Extended to a live setting, Høiby’s vision played out like musical theatre, a mix of drama, tension and comedy, held together by remarkable jazz, immaculately played.'
