Exploring and challenging the traditional jazz trio

The three musicians of Human Being Human have all toured the world with their music and played with a wide range of renowned international artists.

In Human Being Human, they come together to make music that sonically explores and challenges the acoustic jazz trio format. With elements of electronica and ambient landscapes, the trio expands its sonic universe with possibilities otherwise only accomplished by much larger ensembles.

The trio's compositions are based on creating musical platforms where music can unfold with equal parts of improvisations The trio's music takes you from cinematic landscapes to the intense cacophony of the big city. There are equal parts of inspiration from Bach's counterpoint to the swampy soul-jazz of the 70s and the sound of Scandinavia's melodic and melancholic tone.

Human Being Human has a lot to offer as a trio, both musically and compositionally. The three musicians from different backgrounds are at the heart of it all:

Esben Tjalve with a number of years on the London music scene.

Torben Bjørnskov with deep roots in Nordic melody as well as jazz through a long collaboration with American and English musicians.

Frederik Bülow with strong roots in the new wave of jazz-tronica and odd-meters-based music.

The music is a voice in time, and behind the compositions lie many compassionate, cultural, philosophical, and spiritual thoughts. The music is very much a response to how we hear jazz today, but also a commentary on many of the new trends and world orders of our time.

The main element of the trio is play, exploration, depth, humor, and presence. The heart of the music is at the forefront along with ensemble and curiosity.
