Esbjörn Svensson Tribute Concert
20 Jun 2008, 11:39
I'm still feeling very sad about the tragical loss of Esbjörn Svensson.
I've read the manager saying that "Some 60-70 people, including jazz star Pat Metheny, had called throughout the day to offer their condolences."
That's what got me to the idea: all the musicians who had played with Esbjörn could unite for an evening and could pay tribute for Esbjörn by playing some E.S.T. music and other great tunes.
I've got some ideas for the artists, like Pat Metheny, Nils Landgren, Viktoria Tolstoy, Raul Midón and of course Magnus Öström and Dan Berglund (Esbjörn Svensson Trio).
What do you guys say about this? Any idea for additional musicians?

and our dream is coming true:
Esbjörn Svensson Memorial at the London Jazz Festival
"The untimely death of pianist and composer Esbjorn Svensson in June this year stopped the jazz world in its tracks. With the trio E.S.T., Esbjörn had been at the forefront of a new energy in jazz - not only personifying the creativity of today's European jazz scene, the trio's music touched a massive audience worldwide reaching across musical genres to reach audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Esbjorn and the trio had a special relationship with the London Jazz Festival, playing their first major London concert at Queen Eizabeth Hall, and returning to Royal Festival Hall and Barbican as the years went by. Today's event brings archive film and music to pay tribute to one of the most remarkable artists in today's music."
