Auhindadega pärjatud Espen Bergi trio, mida British Jazz Journal nimetab üheks parimaks tänapäeval tegutsevaks jazztrioks, on täna üks Norra jazzi lipulaevu, kes püüab pidevalt uuendada klaveritrio ja Põhjamaade jazzi pärandit.
Alates 2014. aastast on Espen Berg Trio tuuritanud laialdaselt Euroopas ja Aasias, esinedes väljamüüdud kontserdisaalides ja kuulsates jazziklubides nagu Ronnie Scotts Londonis.
Nende muusika võib meenutada Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarretti, Shai Maestro või Tigran Hamasyani muusikat, kuid neil on ainulaadne kõla, mida iseloomustab nende mänguline ja orgaaniline viis keeruliste rütmide käsitlemisel, rikas ja sügav arusaam harmooniast, südamlikud meloodiad, tohutud tehnilised võimed ja kaasahaarav koosmäng.
“Tunnustatud Jaapanis, kuid Euroopas tõeliselt domineeriv EBT on üks paremaid klaveritriosid, kellele ulatati kaalukas teatepuk, mille lahkunud Esbjörn Svensson trio (EST) loovutas.” — Jazz Journal.
Espen Berg Trio on Jaapani plaadifirma Blue Gleam alt välja andnud neli albumit ja müünud Jaapanis üle 2000 CD. Nende kolmas album Free to Play kuulus Downbeati 2019. aasta parimate väljaannete hulka, samas kui nende neljas Fjære sisaldas selliseid külalisartiste nagu Mathias Eick, Sile Nergaard ja Hanna Paulsberg. 2019. aastal jättis trio Bremeni Jazzaheadile kogunenud jazzitööstusele soliidse mulje, mille tulemuseks oli tuur Indias Ning kontserdid Euroopa mainekates kontserdisaalides.
Ajakiri “All About Jazz” kuulutas Espen Bergi tõeliseks klaverimeistriks, kui ta 2012. aastal andis välja oma debüütalbumi Noctilucent.
Tema kolmandast live - sooloalbumist “The Trondheim Concert “ (2022), kirjutati paljudes Euroopa juhtivates džässiajakirjades ja UK Vibe nimetas seda viimase kümnendi üheks parimaks improviseeritud klaverisalvestuseks..
Espen pälvis 2016. aastal Molde Rahvusvahelisel Jazz Festivalil Norra suurima jazzstipendiumi, mille tulemuseks oli tellimustöö Trondheimi jazzorkestrile. Ta on tuntud ka koostöö poolest Silje Nergaardi, Hildegunn Øiseth Quarteti, A Tonic For The Troopsi, Seamus Blake'i, Daniel Herskedali, Marius Neseti jt.
2023. aastal määrati ta ametlikuks Steinway artistiks, millega seoses toimusid tema esiettekanded tema viimasest tellimustööst “Water Fabric”, mis oli kirjutatud Trondheimi džässifestivalile, Oslo džässifestivalile ja Stavangeri Maijazzile.

Referred to as one of the best trios in existence today by the British Jazz Journal, this award- winning trio is one of the leading voices from Norway that continually seeks to renew the legacy of the piano trio and the Nordic jazz scene. Since 2014, Espen Berg Trio has toured extensively in Europe and Asia, outselling concert halls and famous clubs like Ronnie Scotts in London. Their music might be reminiscent of that of Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett, Shai Maestro or Tigran Hamasyan, but have a unique sound characterized by their playful and organic way of dealing with complex rhythmics, rich and deep understanding of harmony, heartfelt melodies, immense technical abilities and a highly engaging interplay.
«Big in Japan but yet to really dominate Europe, EBT are one of the better piano-led trios to pick up that heavy baton relinquished by the late Esbjörn Svensson.» — Jazz Journal
Espen Berg Trio has released four albums on the Japanese label Blue Gleam and sold over 2000 CDs in Japan. Their third album, Free to Play, was listed in Downbeat as one of the best releases in 2019, while their fourth, Fjære, featured profiled guest artists such as Mathias Eick, Sile Nergaard and Hanna Paulsberg. In 2019, the trio made a solid impression on the jazz industry gathered at jazzahead! in Bremen, resulting in a tour in India and concerts at highly profiled European venues.
Espen Berg was declared a true master of the piano by All About Jazz when releasing his debut album Noctilucent, in 2012. His third solo album, The Trondheim Concert (2022), all improvised and live-recorded, was featured in many of Europe’s leading jazz magazines, and described as one of the finest improvised solo piano performances from the last decade or so by UK Vibe. Espen was awarded Norway’s largest jazz scholarship at Molde Int’l Jazz Festival in 2016, resulting in a commissioned work for the Trondheim Jazz Orchestra. He is also known for his collaboration with Silje Nergaard, Hildegunn Øiseth Quartet, A Tonic For The Troops, Seamus Blake, Daniel Herskedal, Marius Neset, among many others.
