I’m 30 seconds in and already know I’m going to be listening to this for the rest of my life

[EchosonicaMusica]

I can't believe it's been 7 years... Esbjörn is and will be sorely missed...

[NR_Quizzie]

For the entire time I heard this on spotify, I never knew there was no electric guitar. The BASSIST DID THAT! Amazing, that is just a brilliant song!

[siriusfeline]

Brilliant, and so hauntingly beautiful. The bass player is a monster. What a great band.

[ルージン-ry]

This is one of my favorite songs.
It gives me such a warm feeling when I listen to it.
Thank you so much for leaving us this song.
Rest in peace, Esbjorn.

[Crinklechip-s]

One of my very favourite Jazz songs. Euphoric!

[keithtomlinson]

It is quite rare to see three geniuses on one stage working together in such complete harmony. Each so completely attuned to what the other two are doing. Sometimes it is almost like one brain controlling three bodies. Also I find it really interesting how often Esbjorn’s hands are physically so close together. Almost like one hand with ten fingers.

[josipvrandecic]

This great jazz Master (RIP) strengthens my spirit....Over and over again, very thanks for that.Who says that the Nords are ''cold'' people ... what a stupid stereotype.

[maxcgn]

Thanks a lot! Fantastic recording! One of my favourite tunes from the 2000´s. So sad that this musical genius dies so young.

J'ai découvert E.S.T après la disparition d'Esbjorn. J'avais déjà dans les oreilles Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea et Brad Meldhau. Je me suis dit : "Là y a un truc". Et j'ai ensuite exploré la discographie d'E.S.T. Ce pianiste était vraiment un grand musicien. Car interpeller l'auditeur, dans les années 90, une fois le jazz arrivé au bout de son histoire, c'est une prouesse ! Esbjorn est un lyrique, comme Jarrett. Et cette composition est sublime.

[gonzaloottonelli]

I love the way they are feeling it. It shows you the love they have for their music, and for the music as a whole. I mean look at their faces, most of the time they are with their eyes closed and just really IN the moment. That's what its all about.

[rexwave]

That's crazy. The bass "wa-wa" sound is amazing. I love the sound of that piano - warm, yet his left hand isn't muddy when he's playing the solo lines with his right hand.

[MichaelMichaelino]

Both sadness and elation. Sad as I know he is gone. But joy, because I was fortunate once to sit in an audience and experience everything est does to a listener. And in that sense, Esbjörn and his trio will never leave me.

[mrjamescurry]

WIthout question one of the finest pieces of music ive heard.

[davideandreolini]

Mi sento fortunato quando ascolto musicisti e musica così bella così intensa... Il mio Cuore gioisce e insieme ad ogni cellula del Corpo viaggio.. Grazie OSBJORN 🌊🌊🌊🌊❤️

[goozdail]

man i've been on a huge binge of that performance the last 2 days haha..i've listened to it 100 times at least. This tune is unspeably beautiful, and I love the energy and soul that these musician show while playing. But what a tune, i've listened to a lot of piano jazz trios, and few tunes got to me as this one did and still does, another one is you look good to me by O Peterson.

[RealFrankZappa]

I wish to have seen Esbjorn play. He is a true master of the craft.

[ZipeFingerboarder]

such a beautiful song, rest in peace Esbjörn.

[fabriziociccarelli]

uno dei più grandi pianisti dell'era moderna!

[alessiozuccamusic]

this piece is a really an elevation of love <3
