Tord Gustavsen Trio
On the sublime new album Opening, Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen reveals a fresh take on his highly lauded investigations into Scandinavian folk and jazz. The trio–including drummer Jarle Vespestad and bassist/electronics manipulator Steiner Raknes–explores innovative approaches to technique, while creating intricately textured improvisations and understated melodic hooks.
Opening “retains what first drew so many people to Gustavsen: mesmerizing hush; sublimated urgency; spare melodic grace. It also reveals 11 years of creative evolution.” – Stereophile
