it is so sad to see so few people reply to this.
Esbjörn was one of the few touching jazz artists our world has to offer.


R.I.P.

What a tremendous loss. I've no doubt that Svensson's music will continue to inspire for generations to come. He will be missed.

R.I.P.

I loved his crossover-mentality:

"We are a rockband that plays jazz".

Never saw him as a jazz artist, whatever that means.

Yes I was very shocked to read of his passing, such a tragedy. he was a special talent and original voice in music today, very refreshing.

Sadly missed.
