The amazing vocalist Linda Pettersson sings original songs by ES with lyrics by Dave Castle.

"we met during a tour in March 2004 where both Linda and myself were engaged to play with Bohuslän Big Band & Kenny Wheeler. During a couple of free hours I suggested that we should check out some tunes. Contact was immediately established and after only a few bars I knew that this must be recorded."
A demo was made two months later and then the group played a few concerts for enthusiastic audiences.
In January 2005 a new record was recorded with Linda & Ewan Svensson Quartet feat. the French pianist Antoine Herve, with whom ES Trio recently has made the record "Just live to tell the tale".
The CD Light&Shade was released in Paris Sept. 23, 2005 when the group were playing at the jazzclub "Le Duc des Lombards" Sept 23, 24 and 26. It was a great succes, the club was sold out and the first concert was broadcasted directly by Radio France.

Since then this constellation has taken the public by storm, not only in Sweden but also in France (Paris, Lyon, Nice 2005 and 06), Scotland (Edinburgh Jazz Festival 2005) and Japan (Tokyo, Niigata, Fukuoka, Tomakomai, Sapporo a.o. 2006).

Another record has been partly recorded and is planned to be released in 2008.
