Esbjörn Svensson Trio live in Rossignol

Experience Esbjörn Svensson Trio live on August 9th

Esbjörn Svensson Trio, commonly known as e.s.t., is scheduled to perform at the Gaume Jazz Festival on August 9th, 2026, in Rossignol, Belgium. The trio pioneered a distinctive sound often described as European jazz, blending elements of jazz improvisation with influences from rock, classical music, and electronic soundscapes. Their music is characterized by Svensson’s lyrical piano playing, Dan Berglund’s melodic bass lines, and Magnus Lindgren’s subtle yet driving drumming – creating a dynamic interplay and atmospheric compositions. Tragically, Esbjörn Svensson passed away in 2012; this performance features a re-imagining of their work by musicians carrying forward their legacy.
