About

Anton Eger (born 9 December 1980 in Oslo) is a Norwegian-Swedish drummer and composer who has spent most of his career based in Copenhagen. He trained at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory there under Django Bates, and went on to become a founding member of the Anglo-Scandinavian trio Phronesis - alongside bassist Jasper Høiby and pianist Ivo Neame - which won the UK Parliamentary Jazz Award for Jazz Ensemble of the Year in 2017 and received two MOBO nominations. His 2019 solo debut 'Æ' (Edition Records), co-produced with Petter Eldh, pushed well beyond jazz into electronically driven avant-fusion.
