The
Esbjörn
Svensson
Trio,
e.s.t.
for
short,
are
still
celebrated
today
as
one
of
the
most
important
and
influential
European
jazz
bands
of
the
last
20
years.
In
1999,
the
three
Swedes
achieved
their
international
breakthrough
with
‘From
Gagarin’s
Point
Of
View’.
A
star
rose
in
the
musical
sky
and
a
unique
world
career
followed.
But
sometimes
stars
shine
for
much
longer
than
one
thinks.
On
‘e.s.t.
Live
95’
there
are
recordings
that
prove
that
this
was
also
true
for
the
Esbjörn
Svensson
Trio.
The
band,
founded
in
1993,
found
their
very
specific
sound
early
on
but
it
was
not
initially
noticed
outside
its
home
country.
In
1995,
when
the
trio’s
namesake
still
wore
long
hair
and
a
headband,
these
recordings
were
made
at
various
locations
in
Sweden.
And
whoever
hears
how
the
trio
played
back
then
is
left
breathless.
Much
of
what
distinguishes
e.s.t.
was
already
strongly
pronounced
here:
the
coherence
and
powerful
grip
of
the
playing;
the
catchy
themes
that
immediately
jump
out
at
the
listener
and
yet
do
not
become
clichéd;
the
fusion
of
the
music
of
role
models
like
Thelonious
Monk
and
Keith
Jarrett
into
a
style
of
their
own,
always
infected
by
the
forward
thrust
of
rock.
Magical
moments
were
saved
for
eternity
by
these
recordings.
Now
this
e.s.t.
early
work
is
available
on
double
vinyl.
