Esbjörn Svensson Trio • Strange Place for Snow

 

Esbjörn Svensson (1964 – 2008) Swedish Musician, Composer and Founder of e.s.t Esbjörn Svensson Trio.

Esbjörn Svensson is one of the most well known and successful Swedish musicians of all time. His music and the way he played the piano can be described as energetic, experimental and innovative. It has its roots in jazz music but with influences from both classical music and pop/rock.

Esbjörn was born in Skultuna 1964. His mother played classical music on the piano and his father listened to all the great jazz musicians on the radio and gramophone and Esbjörn himself listened to Radio Luxembourg to hear the latest pop and rock.

After playing in different constellations of swedish jazz groups Esbjörn wanted to explore his own music and started e.s.t Esbjörn Svensson Trio together with his childhood friend Magnus Öström, drums and Dan Berglund, base.

1993 e.s.t released their first album “When Everyone has Gone”, but it was with the album “From Gagarin’s Point of View ” in 1999 that they made their international breakthrough.

Touring almost 100 days a year created a great audience both in Europe and the rest of the world. To play live, meet the audience, and create music moments was the impulsion to be on tour and with their non boundary music they found their way to many non-jazz listeners around the world.

e.s.t recorded eleven studio albums and three live albums before Esbjörn died in an accident in June 2008. At this time e.s.t was one of Europe’s most successful Jazz trios with a career spanning over 15 years and the first ever European band to be featured on the front cover of US jazz bible Downbeat.

Esbjörn Svensson (1964 - 2008) Músico sueco, compositor y fundador del trío e.s.t Esbjörn Svensson.

Esbjörn Svensson es uno de los músicos suecos más conocidos y exitosos de todos los tiempos. Su música y su forma de tocar el piano pueden describirse como enérgicas, experimentales e innovadoras. Tiene sus raíces en la música jazz, pero con influencias tanto de la música clásica como del pop/rock.

Esbjörn nació en Skultuna en 1964. Su madre tocaba música clásica al piano y su padre escuchaba a todos los grandes músicos de jazz en la radio y el gramófono, y el propio Esbjörn escuchaba Radio Luxemburgo para oír lo último en pop y rock.

Después de tocar en diferentes constelaciones de grupos de jazz suecos, Esbjörn quiso explorar su propia música y fundó e.s.t Esbjörn Svensson Trio junto con su amigo de la infancia Magnus Öström, batería, y Dan Berglund, base.

En 1993, e.s.t publicó su primer álbum, "When Everyone has Gone", pero fue con el álbum "From Gagarin's Point of View ", en 1999, cuando dieron el salto internacional.

Las giras de casi 100 días al año crearon un gran público tanto en Europa como en el resto del mundo. Tocar en directo, encontrarse con el público y crear momentos musicales fue el impulso que les impulsó a salir de gira y, con su música sin fronteras, se abrieron camino entre muchos oyentes no aficionados al jazz de todo el mundo.

e.s.t grabó once álbumes de estudio y tres en directo antes de que Esbjörn falleciera en un accidente en junio de 2008. En aquel momento, e.s.t era uno de los tríos de jazz de más éxito de Europa, con una carrera de más de 15 años, y el primer grupo europeo en aparecer en la portada de la biblia del jazz estadounidense Downbeat.
