They have been lauded as the "New sound in the Old World", and as "high voltage out of Sweden"; the group has been called "possibly the best jazz trio in the world". The Esbjörn Svensson Trio's - known as EST - rise to the heights has been almost frightening.
Stars sometimes shine much longer than one would think. And here are recordings that demonstrate this is true for EST. The band, which was first formed in 1993, quickly found their very special sound. However, at first, no one outside EST's homeland was aware of them. Six years ago, in 1995, when Esbjörn Svensson still had long hair, and wore a headband, a record titled "Mr. And Mrs. Handkerchief", which consisted of live air shots from various towns in Sweden, was releasedThose who have heard how the trio played back then can attest that it was breathtaking music.
Much of what characterizes EST's play today was already well-defined in 1995: the unity and riveting strength of the inter-play, the compelling themes, themes that immediately jump out at the listener, and yet are never burdened with cliches.

Se les ha alabado como el "Nuevo sonido en el Viejo Mundo", y como "el alto voltaje de Suecia"; el grupo ha sido calificado como "posiblemente el mejor trío de jazz del mundo". El ascenso del trío Esbjörn Svensson -conocido como EST- a las alturas ha sido casi aterrador.
Las estrellas a veces brillan mucho más de lo que uno cree. Y aquí hay grabaciones que demuestran que esto es cierto en el caso de EST. La banda, que se formó por primera vez en 1993, encontró rápidamente su sonido tan especial. Sin embargo, al principio, nadie les conocía fuera de su tierra natal. Hace seis años, en 1995, cuando Esbjörn Svensson aún tenía el pelo largo y llevaba una cinta en la cabeza, salió a la venta un disco titulado "Mr. And Mrs. Handkerchief", que consistía en tomas aéreas en directo desde varias ciudades de Suecia. Quienes hayan escuchado cómo tocaba el trío por aquel entonces pueden dar fe de que era una música impresionante.
Gran parte de lo que caracteriza a EST hoy en día ya estaba bien definido en 1995: la unidad y la fuerza fascinante de la interacción, los temas convincentes, temas que saltan inmediatamente a la vista del oyente y, sin embargo, nunca están cargados de clichés.

just for your info -- this is actually live 1995 (and NOT 2000). I've had this recording in my music library for quite a while and can fully recommend it. Nice share!
