With the album "Viaticum," released in February 2005, the successful Swedish trio e.s.t. surpassed themselves. While the Swedes had already received a German Jazz Award in GOLD for each of their last three albums, "Viaticum" was awarded both GOLD and PLATINUM awards just three months after its release. A true record! At the same time, the album entered the pop charts in Sweden (#5), Germany (#45), and France (#60), and it was named "CD of the Month" by magazines Stereo, Stereoplay, Piano News, and Drums&Percussion, receiving enthusiastic reviews across Europe.

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.
