About

Celebrated bassist and composer Jasper Høiby presents We Must Fight - an album that reimagines his music, from some of the most celebrated Phronesis albums including Green Delay, Alive, Walking Dark, and We Are All, with his collaborative and exploratory ensemble, Fellow Creatures.

In the process of reimagining this music, Høiby put his trust in lauded saxophonist, composer and arranger, Alex Hitchcock, whose arrangements breathe new life into the material. Alex Hitchcock’s involvement is a big part of We Must Fight, and has a profound impact on the band’s sound. Around Høiby and Hitchcock, stands a richly textured group featuring oud player Saied Silbak, flautist Ketija Ringa Karahona, pianist Xavi Torres, and drummer Luca Caruso bringing voices from Denmark, UK, Palestine, Latvia and Spain, many with deep roots in Amsterdam’s fertile scene, a city Høiby has long drawn inspiration from.

We Must Fight speaks to the importance of the collective voice, and to using art as a call to action. It is a reminder of artistic integrity. It’s a record of how Høiby sees, hears, and thinks in the present. For Jasper Høiby, “We Must Fight” is a vital chapter in an already vibrant discography. There’s a hunger for creation in the way he revisits his past work and reshapes it. “We Must Fight” asks the pressing question: how can our music find its revolutionary purpose?
