[David SO]

E.S.T. are a phenomenon: A jazz trio, which sees itself as a rock band that plays jazz, breaking with the tradition in jazz of having a leader and his sidemen in favour of equality within its members, which not only plays jazz-venues but also on stages at festivals and in venues usually reserved for rock bands. Lighting effects and dry-ice are also an integral part of their now-legendary live shows, this is a band that goes way beyond the normal boundaries of the average piano trio.
