RIP Esbjorn Svennson
I just found out that Swedish pianist Esbjorn Svennson passed away on June 14th in a diving accident. His playing was beautiful and melodic… It had an interesting blend of classical, jazz and rock styles. His trio had been playing together since 1993. He was the first European jazz musician to grace the cover of Downbeat.
Check out this video of his trio performing his song Viaticum.
And of course, check out my musical tribute to him… Estimated Sonic Transfer,
from my album TWO.
