30 Years of e.s.t. – Tribute to Esbjörn Svensson Trio

The Esbjörn Svensson Trio is one of the most important and influential bands in European jazz. While the trio's success story came to a tragic end with the death of Esbjörn Svensson in 2008, the enthusiasm for e.s.t. remains unbroken to this day. And so, to mark the 30th anniversary of the band's founding in 2023, e.s.t. bassist Dan Berglund and e.s.t. drummer Magnus Öström came together with friends and companions to breathe new life into the trio's music.

What was initially intended as a one-off reminiscence of one of Europe's greatest jazz trios quickly developed into a new success story. After an acclaimed performance in front of an audience of over 2,000 in Stockholm, the trio went on to perform at the Philharmonie Köln, JazzBaltica, Leverkusener Jazztage and other festivals throughout Europe to equally frenetic acclaim. The Cologne concert was even successfully released as an album (ACT Music) in 2024.

Musicians on stage:

• Dan Berglund – bass
• Magnus Öström – drums
• Fredrik Ljungkvist – saxophone
• Ulf Wakenius – guitar
• Joel Lyssarides – piano
• Mathias Eick – trumpet

When you consider that all the musicians involved have successful careers themselves, it makes the ongoing success of this ensemble even more astonishing. But the passion for the music of e.s.t., which has lost none of its relevance in over 30 years, and the joy of playing together, which is evident in every second of the musicians' performances, suggest that this formation will be seen on the stages of Europe for a long time to come.
