Equals

Human Being Human are a piano trio with a name that is a question as much as a statement, in which bassist-composer Torben Bjørnskov gently asks just what being human entails. Equals brings together three players who musically ponder our need to share love and be good. Idolising the likes of Gandhi and John Lennon in his younger years, bassist Torben Bjørnskov believes this message of unity is what we need in a world full of conflict. With the jazz piano tradition at its core, Human Being Human's sound is full of surprises and possibility. Passages of timeless openness, energetic, virtuosic improvisation and propulsive syncopated riffs rub shoulders with influences that span Bach counterpoints, electronica and ambient music. Thoughtful, intricate compositions serve as the vessel through which the ensemble can explore their collective musicality.
