Another one for you. Also Swedish jazz. Sad story though. Esbjörn Svensson, the pianist in this trio drowned, so that band is no more. The bassist went on to form Tonbruket. So while they share a bassist, they don't sound alike.

Wow, that was really good! But quite different, like you said.
I actually discovered this jazz guitarist from Japan a couple of days ago:

Omg, instant love. 🥰 I can hear why E.S.T made you think of this.
Norway has a couple of incredible jazz artists. My favourite is Nils Petter Molvær. Trumpeter.
This is from a live album.
Another live performance
And this one has female vocals. -

He's great! I used to play saxophone. Well, I still have it but haven't picked it up in a while. I was never great at it anyway, but I'm sure you're already familiar with most of the American artists who inspired the instrument choice: Sonny Rollins, Pharoah Sanders, John Coltrane, John Zorn, Albert Ayler, Stan Getz (especially him!), Charlie Parker… plus King Curtis and Clarence Clemons

Shit, I overlooked one of my other sax heroes who happens to not be an American. To correct the oversight, I'll just post some of his work

Dave Van Ronk. It's a weird story, but I actually discovered him through a crime novel I read years ago. It was named after a line in this song and the main character discovers the song at one point in the book.
And a few other good ones from him;
Oh, and if you're curious it's this novel:
Two of the others in the series have been made into movies. Eight Million Ways to Die and A Walk Among the Tombstones.
