Esbjorn Svensson Trio
Oggy, thought you might be interested in the following snippet all about the departed Esbjorn. It's from a site called
Classic Cafes | London's vintage Formica caffs! which celebrates the fast-disappearing world of the old-fashioned Italian-style style coffee bar in the UK.
Cerebral, menthylated bistro jazz that wafts down the fjords of your mind. This Scandanavian group are/were the rightful heirs to the epochal Dudley Moore Trio. 'From Gagarin's Point of View' features numerous genius pieces in updated Moore style - all elegantly filmic and spare. The title track is a caff classic moodpiece. Several other Svensson albums boast similar moments, but of late the mass appeal of the new Scandanavian jazz school has somewhat vitiated EST's modus operandi.
