What It Means To Be Human (2022)

"“What It Means To Be Human” is the second in a series of four albums from Jasper Høiby’s Planet B. As with the first release from 2020, it’s the same line-up of Høiby on bass and electronics, Josh Arcoleo on saxophone, and Marc Michel on drums. Focussing on global topics of vital importance, this new release continues where the last album left off, with themes of humanity, climate change, artificial intelligence and monetary reform all intelligently juxtaposed and integrated into the music being so brilliantly performed. This album seeks connection. A connection between humanity and the planet, between the problems we all face and about an opportunistic optimism to fix them. The mastermind behind its conception is Jasper Høiby, the revered Danish bassist and the deeply reflective, expressive and visionary artist, leading the trio here in spellbinding fashion."
