Hot jazz trio Phronesis come to Ireland
PHRONESIS are one of those bands that you think of as young but which, in fact, have been around forever. Well, 10 years, which is a very long time by the standards of most jazz ensembles, which tend to form and dissipate with regularity.
The highly-rated group is instrumentally traditional enough: a piano trio. But the fact that they have that memorable name (it’s an Aristotelean term meaning practical wisdom), without the word “trio” tells you a lot about how they think of themselves.
