This Photo is dedicated to Esbjörn Svensson, pianist and head of my favourite Jazz-Band E.S.T. who died much too early at the age of 44. I'm very sad, I've seen E.S.T. three times live on stage, every concert was extraordenary. When my time has come, I'd like to listen to further concerts on a cloud in the first raw. RIP!!

EST in Istanbul

Very sad indeed... I was really puzzled while reading a retrospective article about Esbjoern in a newspaper -- the author refused to use direct words, but I already felt what he hinted at. A quick search revealed the truth... Unfortunately I missed his only appearance here, so I should rely on the recordings. Good night.

very nice shot.

@Istoyanov Sorry you missed his gig, to hear jazz live imho is so inspiring, and EST was one of the best live bands. What was the autor of the newspaper was hinting at? I read, Esbjörn died through diving accident. Are there doubts?

@pappnase Ja, das Foto ist aus dem Landschaftspark.

It wasn't directly written that Esbjoern died. Perhaps the author refused to believe either...

Yes, Anita, death is something that often leaves us speechless. But thanks for telling me your feelings.

Dear Arodes, whenever You come to Germany you're welcome in Bremen. I would show you that area, it's about 200 km away in Duisburg.

Dear Istoyanov, Your photo is also very good for saying "good bye". I'm glad not to be the only one who grieves for Esbjörn.

Thanks for the appreciation, Jotty23!

At least his life was full of meaning. I cannot think in anything more horrible than dying old and empty. Nice tribute, Jotty. Hugs.

Beautiful image, with such poignancy when you read its meaning for you.

Thanks dear friends! Of course you are right Javi, but Esbjörn died defintly too young.
