Description

Esbjörn Svensson: 10 years already... An unreleased "live" recording captured in London celebrates the mythical Swedish trio. On June 14, 2008, the music world learned the terrible news of the pianist's passing following a diving accident. The trio's career came to a sudden halt, in the midst of their rise and conquest of the entire planet. It should be noted that e.s.t. was the only European group to have graced the cover of the American Jazz Bible Downbeat (1934!). Many groups have been greatly influenced by the Swedish trio: Gogo Penguin, Mammal Hands, Portico Quartet, etc... The band's concerts were very special moments and broke the mold of jazz; it was an unforgettable experience, somewhere between Sigur Ros, Radiohead, and Keith Jarrett, and the audience often ended up in a trance-like state! Records flew off the shelves at the end of the concerts, and it was not uncommon to sell two or three hundred in small provincial venues! In 2010, the highly respected British newspaper The Times named "e.s.t. Live In Hamburg" as the jazz album of the decade 2000-2010! This album was recorded on May 20, 2005, at the Barbican Center in London.
