Esbjörn Svensson is Dead

I've just read that Esbjörn Svensson of EST died in a scuba-diving accident in Stockholm over the weekend. How sad. Not only was he an incredible mucisian (at the forefront of a very classically minded move in Scandinavian jazz) but he always came across on stage as a thoroughly decent guy. RIP.

Update: The Irish Times obituary is here.

Well there's one for the diary: the Esbjörn Svensson Trio at Vicar Street on the 16th of March. Our tickets are booked already! Marvellous!
