Jez Nelson presents a tribute to the late Swedish pianist Esbjorn Svensson, who died on June 14, 2008 in a diving accident, at the age of 44.

Since forming in 1990, Esbjorn's trio EST transformed jazz music, both in their native Sweden and around the world. Their songbook of intricate and anthemic tunes - which have become standards for a generation of younger musicians - as well as their countless festival appearances, made them a live phenomenon, with an appeal that extended well beyond their core jazz fanbase.

Saalfelden Festival 2007 
Jez Nelson presents highlights from last year's festival in Austria, featuring the AACM trio, comprising Muhal Richard Abrams , Roscoe Mitchell and George Lewis , Henry Threadgill 's acoustic group Zooid, and Elliott Sharp with the 31 Band playing the soundtrack to the sci-fi film Spectropia.
