The Esbj: Viaticum
by Sergio Masferrer
The Esbjörn Svensson Trio stayed hidden to my ears until I discovered the existence of Viaticum. The impact of this recording is immediate: it belongs to a new jazz school, in which I don't know who's the teacher and who's the pupil, but where we can find the names of Brad Mehldau--with his Art Of The ...
The Esbjorn Svensson Trio (e.s.t.): Viaticum
by John Kelman
Together now for over a dozen years, e.s.t. has clearly developed a number of personal stylistic markers. Blending improvisation with a distinct pop sensibility that includes subtle use of electronics--with the exception of Dan Berglund's aggressive fuzztone arco bass--the trio has honed a sound incorporating elements of drum 'n' bass, electronica, funk, pop, classical and rock, ...

Esbjorn Svensson: What Jazz Is, Not Was
by Joshua Weiner
We're featuring this 2004 interview in memory of Esbjorn Svensson. Svensson died on June 14th at the age of 44. News. Pianist Esbjorn Svensson leads the Swedish group EST, one of the most exciting and original piano trios in jazz today. They've been playing together for over ten years, an extraordinary length of ...
Esbjorn Svensson Trio: Live at Dakota Jazz Club
by Joshua Weiner
The latest album by EST, Seven Days of Falling, is in all aspects an excellent record, displaying the musicians' ample talent for mixing strong original songs with a fresh approach to the jazz piano trio that tastefully incorporates moods and textures from rock and electronic music. However, to paraphrase guitarist Robert Fripp, albums are calling cards, ...
ISO e.s.t
by AAJ Staff
Wanted: Jazz trio with the nuance of a dancer, the subtlety and chops of a diamond cutter and the expertise to teach it in Braille. Must be willing to consistently show both love and logic in the face of little recognition of their idiom and a smothering cacophony that believes only in bloodletting, cookie-cutter music. ...
Esbjorn Svensson Trio (e.s.t.): Seven Days of Falling
by Jerry D'Souza
The Esbjörn Svensson Trio, or e.s.t. as it prefers to be known these days, brings luminosity to the art of the piano trio on this, its eighth recording. Credit these three players with a strong sense of musicality and the ability to go past the obvious and build layer upon layer of enticing sonority. The arrangements ...
Esbjorn Svensson Trio (E.S.T.): Seven Days of Falling
by John Kelman
Now in their tenth year, the Swedish piano trio e.s.t. has gradually evolved into a significant force on the European scene, playing to packed houses and releasing records that figure on jazz and pop charts. Why they've never managed to achieve the same level of success in North America is a mystery. The more elegant alternative ...
Nils Landgren/Esbjorn Svensson: Swedish Folk Modern
by John Kelman
Contrary to Wynton Marsalis and Stanley Crouch, jazz is no longer an American or, even more specifically, Afro-American art form. Jazz has, in fact, always been about incorporating music from various traditions, folk and otherwise, into something of a cultural melting pot. While American musicians including John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis looked to African ...
