Departure and remembrance: With the E.S.T SYMPHONY, the music of the most significant and influential European jazz band of the last 20 years takes on a symphonic form. What's more, pieces and contemporary jazz classics like "Tuesday Wonderland," "Viaticum," or "From Gagarin's Point Of View" are elevated to a whole new level thanks to a 90-piece orchestra. They take on a life of their own, immortalized in sheet music and detached from the e.s.t. (Esbjörn Svensson Trio).

Esbjörn Svensson Trio e.s.t.

Founded by the three Swedes Esbjörn Svensson (piano), Dan Berglund (bass) and Magnus Öström (drums), the Esbjörn Svensson Trio (e.s.t.) is considered one of the most influential jazz bands of its time. The trio became internationally recognised for their fusion of jazz with rock, electronic and classical music, which broke down traditional genre boundaries. Their energetic live performances and creative dynamics set new standards for jazz trios. After Esbjörn Svensson's tragic death in 2008, e.s.t. will be remembered as one of the most important and influential jazz formations in modern music history.
