This evening is not the usual story. The concert, which the Vilnius Mama Jazz festival invites to experience, is about talent and pain, about tragic loss, return, past, present and future. Koncertas, kuris, jei pasaulis būtų teisingas, būtų kiek kitoks. At the same time, however, a concert celebrating music that is not forgotten is not forgotten. Music that cannot be silenced even the most painful loss.

Gastrol in Europe, USA and Asia, a lot of jazz awards have accompanied the group until the tragic end. In May 2006, the Esbjörn Svensson trio became the first European group to be awarded the cover of the world's most important jazz magazine Downbeat.

This is just one of the many ratings for the band's music. Esbjörn Svensson has been repeatedly selected as the best Swedish jazz musician and music creator, the band has won music awards in Germany, France and other countries. The world was circulating with a terrible news - Esbjörn Svensson sank by diving near Stockholm. The talented musician was only 44.

After his death, two more band records were published-the last creative sessions of the musicians in Australia. Nearly 17 years after the death of Esbjörn Svensson, the interest in his trio's creative legacy is not the case-musicians who were part of this exceptional jazz phenomenon will help to meet him.

The trio members of both musical activities come to Vilnius-Esbjörn buddy, from childhood, drummer Magnus Öström, who started playing with him in the 1990s, and Bassist Dan Berglund, who played his whole career in the band. -align: Justify; "> In 2013, they started a concert in the symphonic versions of the Esbjörn Svensson Trio, and last year, they organized a special concert, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the trio debut. Only one such show in Stockholm was planned, but the audience's reaction was such that it quickly became clear-there are too much of this music that its expectations were disappointed.

Since then, the band we will hear in Vilnius has visited several prestigious concert halls and festival in Europe, and last year's audio record has been released in Cologne. You will see six musicians on the stage, which give new colors for decades of relevance and charm that have not lost their creativity. For example, Swedish guitarist Ulf Wakenius has played jazz legends in Oscar Peterson and Ray Brown, and the Norwegian trumpeter Mathias Eick and his group in 2018 heard "Vilnius Mama Jazz" audience. -Align: Justify; "> All the musicians of the New Esbjörn Svensson trio inspire musicians have successful solo quarries. The fact that he united under a colleague's music flag is another proof of what exceptional this music is.
