Without any superficial determination, the Esbjörn Svensson Trio mixes the most heterogeneous ideas into a melange full of taste and sound awareness. It can sometimes groove mightily, sometimes restrainedly, revel in lyrical ballad bliss, bring extreme contrasts to resolution in peculiar states of suspension. Over the years, the Swedish jazz band has found an unmistakable tone, reviving the filigree piano trio form. Mastermind Svensson wraps you around his little finger with refined-simple themes, kindles firesides with clever ballads and demonstrates a feathery sense of touch throughout with kneading hands that sledge with intellectual posturing. Most impressive, however, is e.s.t.'s courage to slow down. The concentration is on group playing, on building moods and arcs of tension, from which solos emerge and moments arise in which e.s.t. sound like a jazzy acoustic capability of Radiohead.
