E.S.T - history

from http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/news.php?id=19464 with additional youtube videos. posted to remind me of them.

e.s.t. is a phenomenon: A jazz trio, which sees itself as a pop band that plays jazz, which broke with the tradition of leader and sidemen in favor of equality within its members, which not only plays jazz- venues but also venues usually reserved for rock bands, which uses light effects and fog-machines in their live shows, which gets a whole audience to sing-a-long with jazz-standards as eg. Thelonius Monk's “Bemsha Swing", is a trio that goes beyond the scope of the usual classic jazztrio. Their music can be found in the pop-charts and their videos are playing on MTV Scandinavia. With their unique soundscape, combining jazz with drum 'n' bass, electronic elements, funk rhythm, and pop and rock as well as European Classical music, e.s.t. won an audience spanning from the classic jazz-fans to the youngest HipHop fans. Critics and audiences world-wide agree: e.s.t. is definitely one of the most innovative jazz bands of today.

Openness, curiosity, and a little bit of chance are all a part of Esbjrn Svensson's artistic foundation: “I play piano because we didn't have any other instrument in the house. Actually, I would have rather played drums. For instance, as a kid, I put together a set out of old odds and ends, and tried to sound like “Sweet" on “Ballroom Blitz". But then Magnus-strm came with his drums, and I decided to stay with the piano. Magnus and I grew up together, and have played together from the beginning. When Magnus was given his first drum set, he brought it over to my house, and we started playing. We had no idea how to play, but it was a lot of fun. Since we didn't have a teacher, and no one was telling us how to play, we were able to gradually develop our music in a very unique, individualistic way."

From the mid-eighties on, Svensson and--strm established themselves as inspiring sidemen in the Swedish and Danish jazz scenes. They formed their first trio in 1990, but it wasn't until 1993 that they got the necessary lift to get a CD off the ground. It was then that they met Dan Berglund. Both were fascinated by the structural strength and creative diversity of his playing and were able to entice Berglund into joining the trio.

In 1993 the Esbjorn Svensson Trio recorded and released their debut album, When Everyone Has Gone (Dragon): in 1995, the live recording Mr. & Mrs. Handkerchief (Prophone), which has been released in the rest of the World six years later under the title e.s.t. Live '95.

By the mid nineties the trio had made a name for themselves in Sweden and got a recording-deal with the pop-oriented label Superstudio Gul / Diesel Music. The first album for this label, released the same year, was E.S.T. Plays Monk, which quickly sold over 10,000 copies in Sweden. And the talented newcomers started to collect prizes: in 1995 and 1996 Esbjorn Svensson was awarded Swedish Jazz musician of the Year and 1998 Songwriter of the Year, and the 1997 release “Winter in Venice"--consisting mainly of original material--was awarded the Swedish Grammy.

The 1999 release of From Gagarin's Point of View was the first e.s.t. album to be released outside of Scandinavia through the German label ACT und live appearances at festivals as Jazz Baltica and Montreux marked the beginning of the international break-through of the band.

A year later the CD Good Morning Susie Soho was released and earned the trio the title “Trio of the Year" by Jazzwise, UK. e.s.t. toured on the “Rising Stars" Jazz Circuit and played all major festivals throughout Europe. The same time Sony Columbia USA released the first CD Somewhere Else Before a compilation from the European albums From Gagarin's Point of View and Good Morning Susie Soho in the USA.

Strange Place For Snow, e.s.t.'s 2002 release was supported by a 9-month tour through all European countries, but also the USA and Japan. Music from that album also became the soundtrack for the French movie Dans ma Peau directed by the french actress and screen writer (8 Women) Marina de Van. The album earned numerous awards for the band such as the “Jahrespreis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik" (from the German Phonoacademy), the “German Jazz Award", “Choc de l'annee" (Jazzman, France), the “Victoire du Jazz"--the French Grammy--as best international act and also the “Revelation of the Festival" award, a special award from Midem.

In 2003 the band released Seven Days of Falling. The album immediately after release went into the pop album charts in Germany, France and Sweden (topping at No. 15). Besides in Europe the album was also released in the USA, Japan and South Korea. The band supported K.D. Lang on her tour throughout the USA performing in stadiums and large concert halls to over 50.000 people. More than 100.000 people watched them perform live in the 12 months after the release of Seven Days of Falling. As a result of all of this e.s.t. was awarded the Hans Koller prize as “European Artist of the Year" in December 2004--voted by 23 jazz industry professionals from 23 European countries.

Their latest release so far Viaticum(January 2005) has even surpassed the success of the previous albums. It went into the top 50 pop album charts in Germany and France and topped in Sweden on position 4. The band extensively toured the world to support the album release and appeared in major concert halls and festivals in Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and the USA. They were awarded a gold and a platinum German Jazz Award, the IAJE award and the Swedish Grammy and were the first European jazz band ever to grace the cover of the Downbeat jazz magazine in the USA (May 2006 issue). Not only in Europe e.s.t. have become a major concert attraction in their own right pulling large crowds all over the continents.

Their new album Tuesday Wonderland(release date: September 22nd 2006) connects directly to Viaticum. The interpretation of Viaticum was that the music is the provisions that you take with you on your journey through life. Tuesday Wonderland (is the spiritual journey itself that opens new worlds and guides you to the Wonderland of e.s.t.'s music. And the journey continues...

In 1995 and 1996 Esbjorn Svensson was selected the jazz musician of the year in Sweden. On June 14th 2008 Esbjorn Svensson, 44 years old, died during a diving accident yesterday outside of Vrmd near Stockholm. He was in a company of divers at a Swedish jetty/landing stage under supervision of a dive-leader when he was found severely injured at the bottom.

Berita duka, Esbjorn Svensson meninggal

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Swedish jazz pianist Esbjorn Svensson, whose fusion of lyrical melodies and rock-inspired electronics broke fresh ground in modern jazz, has died in a diving accident, his manager said Monday. He was 44.

Svensson died Saturday in a diving accident off a small island near Stockholm, said Burkhard Hopper, manager of the musician's band, the Esbjorn Svensson Trio. Police will conduct a routine investigation of the accident, he said.

Svensson and his band won worldwide critical acclaim and several awards for their 2002 album "Strange Place for Snow," including the Guinness Jazz in Europe Award.

The group also was named best international artist in the 2003 BBC Jazz Awards. Two years later, the trio became the first European jazz band featured on the cover of Downbeat jazz magazine in the U.S.

Hopper said Svensson was instrumental in shaping contemporary jazz. "There was a certain mystique about his music and the interplay with his fellow musicians was absolutely unique."

The band, also known as E.S.T., released "When Everyone Has Gone" in 1993 and had their international breakthrough with the 1999 album "From Gagarin's Point of View."

Hopper said the band had just finished its 12th album, "Leukocyte," to be released in September. "Esbjorn was very happy with the result," he said.

Svensson is survived by his wife and two children. Funeral arrangements were not immediately available.

At things even money can’t buy, use Platinum Card

For theater dwellers, the release of certain credit cards with unimaginable credit ceiling, has somewhat exterminated the most popular recipes for gangsters and action movies. Let’s face it; nobody is seeing any bad guys with suitcases of money chained on their wrists lately.

Even so, if they insisted to carry such scenario, these bad guys are doomed to die at the end. Not necessarily at the end, even at the start, with the rest of the movie revolved around those who take the suitcases and ended up killed. Moral of the story; carrying a suitcase of money is never a good idea.

On the other hand, the story would be different if, for instance, Mel Gibson’s kid was held for ransom. Bad guys in action films with kidnapping themes always wanted a chopper; safe passage out of the country; and last definitely not least, a bag full of money.

A bag full of money, not a credit card, not a solitary moment shared between the victim and his credit card, and the kidnapper and his credit card zipping machine. Why? Because the average stories where the bad guys managed to squeeze some money out of a stolen credit card, or through illegal bank transactions ended up with a bully by the authorities, or the bank requiring longer process for security. Yep, thanks Hollywood for the insight.

But in case we need to spend a bag full of money, on a whim of buying an island, or establishing worldwide funds for the poor like what Oprah did, it’s always possible to do so. With the average Platinum card’s credit ceiling reaching Rp500, 000, 000; and banks like Bank Internasional Indonesia (BII) provided acceptance at about 1.3 million ATMs worldwide and access to 24/7 MasterCard Concierge Services, Platinum card owners literally carry a suitcase of money whenever they go.

But more than that, they carried the bank, including the tight security system. As if it’s not enough, they also carried the glamorous means to support their lifestyle. Privileges like professional assistance in travels, the providing of personal and medical needs, reward programs at renowned merchants worldwide, all sum up within a single card, fit in your back pocket.

“We believe, the BII Platinum Card will satisfy the needs of our affluent customers when conducting banking transactions at home or overseas,” said Sanjay Kapoor, Consumer Banking Director of BII on a recent release.

With more people in the nation achieved worldwide success, the need for sustainable wealth management is rising to give them ease in doing what they’re doing, unimpeded by faulty management issues.

People like Ananda Sukarlan, for example, has more to think than ensuring the safety of his funds. He needs to create brilliant music, perform in various notable orchestras around Europe, and able to give to sustain his prestigious scholarship program; the Ananda Sukarlan award. Bad management problem is a risk he doesn’t want to take.

And just to illustrate, such needs for better wealth management is not only popular in the nation, but also the region. MasterCard, one of the world’s leading brand in payment solution, reported on a recent release that its “penetration in the first quarter of 2008 in Asia/Pacific, Middle East & Africa (APMEA) region revealed that for the quarter until March 31, the region has witnessed double-digit growth in gross dollar volume (20.1%), purchase volume (22.7%), purchase transactions (19.5%), cash transactions (18.8%) and cards issued (15.9%) compared to the same period last year.”

This group of loaded people is not necessarily equipped with profound financial mangement background; a great deal of them is actors, musicians and artists, though many of them are entrepreneurs and business giant. For them, wealth management is not their main business; and this is where banks are doing them the favor.

MasterCard also mentioned the issuing of over 217 million cards during the period, with cardholders made more than 800 million purchase transactions at around 26.6 million locations worldwide and at nearly 917,000 merchant locations in the APMEA.

In the topic of Platinum card, various banks in the nation has decided to target the promising market and cooperated with payment solutions companies to release the card. Banks like ABN, Standard Chartered, even Danamon and BRI have offered such services with similar privileges.

And MasterCard, along with other issuers like Citibank, understands the growing requests for greater securities in major transactions. “The affluent customers segment has specific lifestyle needs and desires. At MasterCard, we are bound to provide them with innovative payment solutions, customized by their needs,” said Vadyo Munaan, Vice President and Senior Country Manager, Indonesia, MasterCard Worldwide at a recent interview.

But though it offers privileges that even money can’t buy, the only problem with Platinum card is of course; you have to be rich first.

Yet, even the average people are starting to move to credit card, lured by various privileges offered by both banks and issuers, including discounts at renowned hotels, priorities and cut price of flight tickets, memberships in glamorous clubs and the likes.

Another privilege is the promotions that follow. MasterCard, for example, had recently granted a lucky card owner and his seven friends a week stay at Bali’s most expensive hotel, transported to and fro by a private jet -which per-hour rent could buy a nice house in Menteng, by the way.

So zip your Premium card, spend Rp1, 000, 000; in your upcoming visit to Purwokerto, and you too could experience marvelous things unexpectedly.

behold guys, my rejected article. Isn't it funny that I actually talk about credit card.. whatta joke, i don't even own one.. nevertheless.. I think of it as a way to express myself, though not really think that my editor will ever going to give me an assignment ever again

thanks Pipim and Sony during the stressful hours, you guys are the best.

moral: published and not published

true writers write. more and more and even more.
true writers understand the hardship of writing and trying to get whatever the work published.
true writers try, and keep writing for writing's sake
so what's true means?

is it not a word to describe loyalty?
is it not a word to oppose false? or fake?

got this good website, going to copy most of it here
from http://www.debbieohi.com/personal/rejections.html

Shannon Hale's The Goose Girl was rejected numerous times and she revised it dozens of times (cutting 200+ pages in all) before it finally got published by Bloomsbury. A woman in my critique group shared a writers' conference anecdote where Hale was a presenter at a conference session. Apparently she walked into the session with a laminated roll under one arm, then unfurled a roll of rejection letters that went out of the room and into the hallway.

Ray Bradbury has had about a thousand rejections over his 30 year career according to a B&N interview, and says he is still getting rejected.

Judy Blume received "nothing but rejections" for two years. "I would go to sleep at night feeling that I'd never be published. But I'd wake up in the morning convinced I would be. Each time I sent a story or book off to a publisher, I would sit down and begin something new. I was learning more with each effort. I was determined. Determination and hard work are as important as talent."

Excerpt from a rejection letter to Ursula K. Le Guin: "The book is so endlessly complicated by details of reference and information, the interim legends become so much of a nuisance despite their relevance, that the very action of the story seems to be to become hopelessly bogged down and the book, eventually, unreadable. The whole is so dry and airless, so lacking in pace, that whatever drama and excitement the novel might have had is entirely dissipated by what does seem, a great deal of the time, to be extraneous material. My thanks nonetheless for having thought of us. The manuscript of The Left Hand of Darkness is returned herewith." (Thanks to Susanna, who points out that the novel won both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award.)

Jeffrey Carver advises writers to be determined, and to be thick-skinned. "I collected rejection slips for 6 years before I finally sold my first short story. Why did I keep going? Was I crazy? Probably. I was convinced I could do it, and I refused to take no for an answer."

Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time was rejected by 26 publishers before being accepted by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. It ended up winning the John Newbery Medal as the best children's book of 1963 and is now in its 69th printing. (Thanks to Mark Bernstein)

Dr. Alma Bond says: "I am the author of 13 published novels, all of which met many rejections. My favorite is this one: ""'Who Killed Virginia Woolf? was in the hands of a publisher who wrote me, 'The book is not publishable.' The next day I got a contract in the mail from Human Sciences Press. The book went out of print and I republished it with ASJA Press. The book is still selling, after 18 years.'"

Shockingly, The Diary Of Anne Frank received the following rejection comment: "The girl doesn't, it seems to me, have a special perception or feeling which would lift that book above the curiosity' level." The book was rejected 16 times before it was published by Doubleday in 1952. More than 30 million copies are currently in print, making it one of the best-selling books in history. (Rotten Rejections)

Advice and Quotes re: Rejection

Jane Yolen: "A writer never gets used to rejections. But if enough manuscripts are out there, each small rejection is less important. Less important? Well, each one hurts less."

Isaac Asimov re: rejection: "I personally kick and scream, and there's no reason you shouldn't if it makes you feel better. However, once you're quite done with the kicking and screaming [segue into practical advice on revising, resubmitting, etc]..." (Thanks to Steve Brinich)

Barbara Kingsolver: "This manuscript of yours that has just come back from another editor is a precious package. Don't consider it rejected. Consider that you've addressed it 'to the editor who can appreciate my work' and it has simply come back stamped 'Not at this address'. Just keep looking for the right address."

Irwin Shaw: "An absolutely necessary part of a writer's equipment, almost as necessary as talent, is the ability to stand up under punishment, both the punishment the world hands out and the punishment he inflicts upon himself."

Kate Braverman: "Writing is like hunting. There are brutally cold afternoons with nothing in sight, only the wind and your breaking heart. Then the moment when you bag something big. The entire process is beyond intoxicating."

Barbara Demarco-Barrett has a great blog post about rejection. Pen on Fire went through dozens of rejections before being accepted. She says that the best way of dealing with rejection is to write your way through it. "Take heart and don't let rejection stop you. Learn from it. Learn to decipher what the rejection letters are really saying. And move on, allow yourself to progress and eventually you will be victorious."



enough rejections?

shitty

well...

no matter what happens, somehow, you can always differentiate between the good and the not so good..

that's one thing..

but as time goes, you develop the habit of knowing which one is publishable and which one is not, and that's shitty..

here you are set to come up with good stuff yet at the same time publishable, thus embedded within these straight parameters.. and that's shitty

especially if you're the writer and the editor has had a different idea of good.. in addition your idea of publishable is somehow a joke!

dammit aaaaaah....

than it's definitely shitty
