Svensson Esbjörn: Home.s.

En världsnyhet briserade tidigare i höstas, när ACT meddelade att Esbjörn Svenssons änka hittat tidigare okänd solopianomusik som Esbjörn spelat in i hemmet, bara några veckor innan han förolyckades 2008. Nu släpps albumet HOME.S. - en improvisatorisk dröm, signerad en av Sveriges största jazzartister. The release of HOME.S., the only existing, previously unreleased solo album by pianist Esbjörn Svensson, is nothing less than a sensation. The recordings were made in Svensson"'s Swedish home - just weeks before his tragic death on June 14, 2008, after which they rested undiscovered on a hard drive in his wife Eva Svensson"'s personal archive for nearly ten years. HOME.S. consists of nine piano songs, with a combination of written-out fragments and Svensson"'s unique, melodic style of improvisation. Heartfelt, soulful and deeply personal. A ""message smuggled across the border, carried by love, space, time and never-ending creative power."" (Eva Svensson) Esbjörn Svenssons HOME.S. hyllas i världspressen! ""Esbjörn Svensson, utan kompisarna Dan Berglund och Magnus Öström, tar ut svängarna på ett delvis annat sätt. Han låter pianospelet omväxlande svälla ut i något som närmar sig den klassiska musikens pianokonserter, omväxlande vända sig inåt i en vackert jazzig melankoli som, med vetskap om hans bortgång, förlänas en gripande sorgkant."" (Dan Backman, SvD) ""Itimacy, serenity and majestic clarity."" -Télérama (FR) ""A gift from heaven."" -Politiken (DK) ""These inventive deliberations are very much his own, ranging from sublime stillness to eruptive vivaciousness.... A delight"" -The Scotsman (GB) ""A real discovery, this solo album by the man who is still regarded as one of the most influential pianists of recent decades."'"' -De Volkskrant (NL) ""Buoyant, capricious, sweepingly melodic"" -The Guardian (GB) Esbjörn Svenssons ""HOME.S."" från Actmusic är ett av årets bästa jazzalbum 2022, enligt The Guardian! ""Between the mid-1990s and his tragic accidental death in 2008, the Swedish pianist/composer Esbjörn Svensson gave classy piano-trio jazz an enthralling stadium-rock drama and drive. These delicate unaccompanied piano pieces, unreleased until now, show a contrastingly private Svensson - but with just the same vivid imagination and subtlety of touch."" (John Fordham, The Guardian)
