Jasper Høiby’s Planet B + Ana Silvera
3rd Feb 2023 @ 19:00 - 23:00
£16 – £20
We present a special evening of music with UK vocalist & multi instrumentalist Ana Silvera and Danish bassist Jaspers Hoiby and his trio Planet B.
Ana Silvera is a London-born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose folk and bluegrass-tinged tunes are lyrical, intimate and emotive, works of ‘lavish, vivid imagination’ (Metro). This concert is part of a tour in support of Ana’s new studio album, ‘The Fabulist’ (“riveting” – Bandcamp; “extraordinary” – Folk Radio) recorded with award-winning producer Gerry Diver (BBC Folk Awards, Mercury Prize). The album title, meaning ‘teller of fables’, speaks to Ana’s love of story-telling, each song a vignette, a poignant snapshot in time that deftly weaves poetry and melody with sublime effect. She will be performing her songs as a duo with double bassist Jasper Høiby.
Jasper Høiby is recognised for his work with his trio Phronesis, his group Fellow Creatures and most recently his trio Planet B.
Together with the saxophonist Josh Arcoleo and drummer Dave Smith, Høiby is shaping adventurous new music to prise open the narrow framework of political debate.
Planet B takes his compositional skills into thrillingly uncharted territory, combining the dynamism and warmth of his acoustic tones with expansive electronic soundscapes, samples of speech and atmospheres along with vertiginous loops.
Planet B dives into the unknown and embraces each moment with shimmering, fluid, composed and improvised sound worlds that interact with speech samples from some of the most inspiring thinkers. It makes for a dialogue on themes such as ecology, climate and human interconnectedness in this evocative and highly thought-provoking music.
