e.s.t. - Esbjorn Svensson Trio April 15, 2007

e.s.t. is a phenomenon: a jazz trio, which sees itself as a pop band that plays jazz, which broke with the tradition of leader and sidemen in favour of equality within it's members, which not only plays jazz venues but also venues usually reserved for rock bands and gets a whole audience to sing-a-long with jazz-standards as eg. Thelonius Monks Bemsha Swing. Their music can be found in the pop-charts and their videos are playing on MTV Scandinavia. With their unique soundscape, combining jazz with drum n bass, electronic elements, funk rhythm, and pop and rock as well as European classical music, e.s.t. won over an audience spanning from the classic jazz-fans to the youngest hip-hop fans. Critics and audiences worldwide agree: e.s.t. are definitely one of the most innovative jazz bands of today.
