En världsnyhet briserade tidigare i höstas, när ACT meddelade att Esbjörn Svenssons änka hittat tidigare okänd solopianomusik som Esbjörn spelat in i hemmet, bara några veckor innan han förolyckades 2008. Nu släpps albumet HOME.S. - en improvisatorisk dröm, signerad en av Sveriges största jazzartister.

The release of HOME.S., the only existing, previously unreleased solo album by pianist Esbjörn Svensson, is nothing less than a sensation. The recordings were made in Svensson's Swedish home - just weeks before his tragic death on June 14, 2008, after which they rested undiscovered on a hard drive in his wife Eva Svensson's personal archive for nearly ten years. HOME.S. consists of nine piano songs, with a combination of written-out fragments and Svensson's unique, melodic style of improvisation. Heartfelt, soulful and deeply personal. A "message smuggled across the border, carried by love, space, time and never-ending creative power." (Eva Svensson)

Esbjörn Svenssons HOME.S. hyllas i världspressen!
"Esbjörn Svensson, utan kompisarna Dan Berglund och Magnus Öström, tar ut svängarna på ett delvis annat sätt. Han låter pianospelet omväxlande svälla ut i något som närmar sig den klassiska musikens pianokonserter, omväxlande vända sig inåt i en vackert jazzig melankoli som, med vetskap om hans bortgång, förlänas en gripande sorgkant." (Dan Backman, SvD)

"Itimacy, serenity and majestic clarity." -Télérama (FR)

"A gift from heaven." -Politiken (DK)

"These inventive deliberations are very much his own, ranging from sublime stillness to eruptive vivaciousness.... A delight" -The Scotsman (GB)

"A real discovery, this solo album by the man who is still regarded as one of the most influential pianists of recent decades.'' -De Volkskrant (NL)

"Buoyant, capricious, sweepingly melodic" -The Guardian (GB)

Esbjörn Svenssons "HOME.S." från Actmusic är ett av årets bästa jazzalbum 2022, enligt The Guardian! "Between the mid-1990s and his tragic accidental death in 2008, the Swedish pianist/composer Esbjörn Svensson gave classy piano-trio jazz an enthralling stadium-rock drama and drive. These delicate unaccompanied piano pieces, unreleased until now, show a contrastingly private Svensson - but with just the same vivid imagination and subtlety of touch." (John Fordham, The Guardian)
