E.S.T.

DOUBLE 180 GRAM LP

LIMITED COLOURED VINYL

GATEFOLD COVER

The Esbjörn Svensson Trio prefers to be addressed by its abbreviation, thus signaling its self-image as a compact unit, a band as if from a single mold, in which the leader no longer plays the main role. The Bandidee is more reminiscent of a rock/pop band than a jazz piano trio. It involves a collective way of working and a collective sound. It can be catchy and comprehensible, without becoming flat and superficial.

The E. S.T. has no fear of contact with the popular. For this it became from the insider tip to the firm size on the European scene. Its success exceeds that of average jazz acts, and yet it also has hard jazz fans and the critics' guild on its side. Above all, it has - what jazz combo can claim that today? - a young audience.
