 Their best and most accesible March 8, 2005

If you want a good starting point in the world of EST (or trio-jazz, for that matter), this may be it!
The sounds, grooves and themes are very diverse; from the country-gospel of 'Believe, beleft, below'(even sounds a little bit like Floyd Kramer at some points)to the jungle of 'Did they ever tell Cousteau'. Absolute highpoint is the exstatic 'Elevation of Love'with an almost scary bass-solo.
It has been said before; there may be 'faster' pianists, and technically more advanced drummers or bassists, but the interplay between the band-members is in a legue of their own!

Having first bought this album, I needed to go and see this band live. I did so recently when they cam to Southampton, their live interpretations of this album and some new unrecorded material was simply unbelievable. The freshness and passion from the piano player(Esbjorn), the at times astonishing virtuosity of the bass player and driving rhythmn of the drummer, (along with some crazy affects), left me speechless. Brilliant band........

What an album! Highly recommended. Shades of the Bill Evans trio in 2003. This is unmissable Jazz.

Introduced to EST by their magical performance in St. George's Bristol,UK, this album recaptures the pleasure of the discovery of that evening. Seven Days of Falling reflects the trio's range of playing styles - the liquid, languid piano and bass playing and sensitive percussion of tracks like 'Ballad for the Unborn' and 'Believe, Beleft, Below' contrast sharply with the complex, driving rhythms of 'Elevation of Love' and 'Mingle in the mincing-machine'. This is complex music made to sound simple in the hands of accomplished artists. The title track starts with a falling four note phrase which recurs in the piece, sometimes under the other instruments, sometimes as the melody, all the time with a rhythm that moves the work along steadily to its conclusion, fading in atmospheric sounds of piano and percussion. EST play varied, inventive and eminently listenable-to music. Listen to the album - then get to see them live. You'll love it, I'm sure.

If when reading this you are still thinking as to whether or not to take the plunge, stop! You’re only depriving yourself of the pleasure of one of the best jazz albums in recent years. Enjoy it now.
