JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater, March 20, 2008 - One of the biggest music events in the world, the North Sea Jazz Festival takes place every July at the Ahoy Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The Ahoy Center is a massive modern sports complex, with so many venues and arenas that one person could never get to even half the music.

Though many bands come from the U.S. to North Sea, the opportunity for JazzSet was to check out bands from Europe. We begin with the Ploctones from the Netherlands, and then rush over to another stage to catch the acclaimed Swedish trio E.S.T.

In 2001, guitarist Anton Goudsmit organized a band to perform music commissioned by Dutch national radio. The group he formed is the Ploctones: Goudsmit with Efraim Trujillo on saxophones, Jeroen Vierdag on bass, and Martijn Vink on drums. Goudsmit is a mover and a dancer onstage, while Trujillo is California-born, living in Amsterdam since 1980. Vierdag's versatility encompasses Latin and Brazilian music, while Vink is the drummer of the well-known Metropole Orchestra. The emcee at North Sea hails them for their "grooves and improvs."

Next, a few yards outside of the Ahoy Center, there's an outdoor tent with the sides rolled up to catch a breeze. It's stuffy because people keep piling in to see and hear the Swedish trio that Pat Metheny champions — and that k.d. lang hired to open a recent North American tour. After 15 years together, E.S.T. is as one: "Three minds and hearts beating together in the moment," writes a BBC reviewer.

Virtuosic on piano, bass, and drums, and as singleminded as a chamber group, E.S.T. is more than jazz and classical music. Its members bring laptops to the stage, adding textures, processing, and selectively applying distortion.

They are Esbjorn Svensson on piano, his childhood friend Magnus Ostrom on drums, and bassist Dan Berglund.
