Exploring and Challenging the Acoustic Jazz Trio

Human Being Human is comprised of bassist Torben Bjørnskov, pianist Esben Tjalve, and drummer Frederik Bülow. These three musicians have all toured the world with their music and played with a wide range of internationally acclaimed artists.

Human Being Human brings them together to create music that explores and challenges the acoustic jazz trio sound. The trio's sound universe and possibilities are expanded by elements of electronica and ambient landscapes, which are normally reserved for much larger ensembles.

The trio's compositional basis is to create platforms for the music to unfold with equal parts improvisation, grooves, and vibes. The trio's music takes you from cinematic landscapes to the intense cacophony of the city. There is equal parts inspiration from Bach's counterpoint to the swampy soul jazz of the 70s and the melodic and melancholic sound of Scandinavia. 

Human Being Human is composed of three musicians with different backgrounds: Bjørnskov with deep roots in the melodic Nordic, but also in the roots of jazz through a long collaboration with American and English musicians, Tjalve with a number of years in the London music scene and Bülow with strong roots in the new wave of jazz-tronica and odd-meters-based music.

The music is a voice in time with compositions based on human, cultural, philosophical, and spiritual thoughts that form  a response to how we hear jazz in the contemporary world, as well as a commentary on many of today's new trends. The heart of the music is at the forefront, along with the curiosity of the ensemble.

In 2022, the trio released its debut album Equals.
