Sorry to hear that...wow.They are awesome new innovators of jazz.There live shows were something i guess,brother would always go to there concerts here in seattle.I am mpls boy too.Was in music business there.Its a tough thing to do recreate an art that is profoundly rooted in tradition.Only when you have a good hold or have mastered theory magic can happen as with the EST group...RIP esbjorn!
Esbjorn Svensson...RIP
Sad news for EST fans. Pianist Esbjorn Svensson passed away over the weekend in a diving accident. The EST Trio was a favorite here in Minneapolis when they were touring the states, with the Dakota Grill having become a regular stop. Their Seven Days Of Falling release opened my eyes to a new (for me) genre of jazz. Life is short.
