In 2011 the Norwegian jazz pianist Bugge Wesseltoft founded a duo with the German DJ Henrik Schwarz . In 2014 Dan Berglund joined and the new trio was called Trialogue . Berglund and Wesseltoft knew each other from the days when est and Wesseltoft's band New Conception of Jazz often played together at festivals.

Öström joins them (from 2016)

Since the end of est, Berglund and Öström had not founded a follow-up project that played new music and initially hesitated. In 2012 they last turned down an offer to start a new full-time band. In the end, however, both agreed and the band had their first appearance at the Nattjazz Festival in Bergen . According to Wesseltoft, after this successful performance, the band began work on a debut album. Wesseltoft had the band signed on his Jazzland label . Further appearances followed in 2017 and 2018.
