Departure and remembrance: With the E.S.T SYMPHONY, the music of the most significant and influential European jazz band of the last 20 years takes on a symphonic form. What's more, pieces and contemporary jazz classics like "Tuesday Wonderland," "Viaticum," or "From Gagarin's Point Of View" are elevated to a whole new level thanks to a 90-piece orchestra. They take on a life of their own, immortalized in sheet music and detached from the e.s.t. (Esbjörn Svensson Trio). ACT
