Esbjorn created a very innovative and introspective form of jazz, I wish he were still here

Oneof my absolute FAVORITE groups ever, and this is coming from a guy who likes mostly rock.

Super great stuff, they are. I didn't click your links, but I hope one of them is "When God Created the Coffeebreak"

Didn't one of those guys die this year?

[IconBasser]

yes, Esbjorn drowned while diving, i believe

That's sad about the death of one of the members. I was not familiar with this trio, so thanks for posting. Very nice stuff!

Their sound reminds me a bit of the Shadowfax stuff with Michael Manring on fretless electric way back in the day... very open and airy sounding, but also serious skill!

I think they were featured in the FAMILY segment of that ICONS documentary that bassdogemer was in...

I saw them a few years ago and they did some REALLY unique stuff. Esbjorn will be missed by everyone who's ever heard of him.
