Rymden at Jazzfest Budapest at Trafó Kortárs Művészetek Háza

Award-winning Norwegian pianist Bugge Wesseltoft longed to play in a piano trio. As a proponent of "European jazz as an art form in its own right", he wanted something close to his feelings and musical expression. So he chose two friends who represent the innovative force of European jazz, Magnus Öström and Dan Berglund.

With their ensembles e.s.t. (Esbjörn Svensson Trio) and Bugge's New Conception Of Jazz, the three like-minded artists have created a parallel musical history that dates back to the mid-1990s.

Award-winning Norwegian pianist Bugge Wesseltoft longed to play in a piano trio. As a proponent of "European jazz as an art form in its own right", he wanted something close to his feelings and musical expression. So he chose two friends who represent the innovative force of European jazz, Magnus Öström and Dan Berglund.

With their ensembles e.s.t. (Esbjörn Svensson Trio) and Bugge's New Conception Of Jazz, the three like-minded artists have created a parallel musical history that dates back to the mid-1990s. Touring worldwide, both groups have introduced themselves to the international scene with a fresh new sound and an openness to experimentation. The result is an international music movement that has become an inspiration for future generations.
With his artist platform and record label Jazzland, Wesseltoft has been a pioneer and continues to be an important contributor to the modernisation of Scandinavian jazz.

The music of the new trio RYMDEN is based on three elements: melancholic and atmospheric songwriting, dramatically charged rhythms and virtuosic jazz played at the highest level. In this new orchestral formation, the influences of modern jazz, Bach, film music and even rock music can be clearly heard, intertwined in a mature and relaxed concert experience.
