Product Description

Album Description

The Esbjörn Svensson Trio have now been in existence for a good ten years and in the past three have been at the centre of international attention. They are a phenomenon: a jazz trio who see themselves as a pop band who play jazz, and who play venues usually reserved for rock bands. Viaticum, looks set to be received with the same level of acclaim that accompanied the release of predecessors Strange Place for Snow (2002) and Seven Days of Falling (2003).

4.0 out of 5 stars Is it Jarrett? Radiohead? Evans? Corea? No, it's EST!, 31 Jan 2005
By Yovra (Driebergen, Holland) - See all my reviews
This CD seems it bit darker and a bit more 'classical' compared to 'Seven Days of Falling'. A little less electronics, more Schubert (with a hint of Liszt and a bit of a Bach-bassline too). Some tracks are beautiful ballads, some are bordering on hard-rock. Stand-out track to me is 'A Picture of Doris travelling with Boris' which seems very Metheny/Lyle Mays-like in its construction; a subtle start and halfway the song it explodes in harmonies and rythm. They are brilliant musicians in their own right (all three of them are capable of taking centre stage), but their interplay is unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, 21 April 2005
By A Customer
I can think of no other jazz trio in the world today that can match Sweden's EST for sheer originality, creativity, versatility and breathtaking talent. They're a jazz band that can fill - and frequently do - rock venues, who attract indie kids as well as jazz aficionados and who stand somewhere at the (accessible) cutting edge of modern jazz yet seem to draw inspiration from rock and classical music too.

"Viaticum" picks up where their last album, "Seven Days of Falling" left off. It's a brilliant, if slightly more melancholic and intriguing affair than its predecessor, and once again shows EST flirting with different genres and displaying a degree of musicianship that is little short of breathtaking. It's an amazing ride, full of atmosphere and subtlety, from the gentle lightness of "Tide of Trepidation" through the stirring repetition of "The Unstable Table and the Infamous Fable" and the more uplifting spirit and energy of "a Picture of Doris Travelling with Boris" (the song titles are as creative as the music). The whole album feels like a coherent "whole", one song blending effortlessly into the next.

Live these guys are a revelation, full of passion and energy, mixing songs, ideas and styles and showing how much is possible with just a standard jazz trio. They're pushing the boundaries of modern jazz and - justifiably - are taking a lot of fans with them. They've also won more awards than you can shake a stick at. In this case, DO believe the hype. EST are a sensation.

4.0 out of 5 stars a whole palette of colours, 25 Oct 2006
By Swan Man (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews
EST in my view are the best piano trio in the world right now. Their music is constantly engaging and thrilling and this album is no exception. Highlights are the title track and Table/Fable, the one being a gorgeous and mellow concoction with chords which could have come from Faure or Poulenc, the other a real emotional rollercoaster, like a furious storm on a Summer's day. Elsewhere the tracks do not always reach the heights but are trademark EST: virtuosic, surprising and great to listen to.

After Wessletoft, Aarset - try Svensson. An excellent series of pieces that push a boundary or two. If you are a trad. jazz fan, dont go here. Read more
