A lever that embodies the quiet resilience of a ship’s mast, supporting the sails and transforming gusts into graceful movement across the open sea. While honoring jazz traditions, the group melds the grace of classical music with the boundarylessness of improvisation.

Asymmetrical and unpredictable, the ensemble breathes life into compositions that range from pieces of intricate detail to sections of unbridled improvisation – where spontaneity and interplay surpass the audience's expectations, leaving them curious to see how the artists will musically behave. One listener humorously captured this refined chaos, commenting,“I always wondered if I’m mentally ill if I like hearing this mess...it makes no sense...jazz makes no sense. Anyway I absolutely love this one.” This reaction speaks to Espar’s ability to pull listeners into a sound world that is unapologetically challenging yet captivating – one that provokes thought, sparks curiosity, and resonates deeply with jazz aficionados and newcomers alike.
