Morbid Jazz

Every now and again I'll set my browser to Pandora and customize a radio station in the hopes of discovering new music that I'll enjoy. Today marks another day, but unfortunately (again), I read on wikipedia or google that a founding member has passed away due to disease or death.

Today I stumbled across E.S.T. (Esbjorn Svensson Trio) and noticed full on piano-based jazz which I don't hear too often (minus Lyle Mays jamming for Pat Metheny). Complex, even haunting at some moments of their last studio album. Shortly thereafter I read that Svensson died in June of this year in a scuba accident.

Much like him, Michael Brecker, but of disease. Damn fine musicians, such a shame.
