Tord Gustavsen Quartet: The Well
by AAJ Italy Staff
Pur restando coerente con un'estetica che l'ha portato a diventare uno degli gli artisti di punta dell'ECM, il pianista norvegese ha da qualche anno accantonato il trio per varare un quartetto, con l'ingresso del sassofonista Tore Brunborg.

Tord Gustavsen Quartet: The Well
by John Kelman
Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen may not have attained the level of success, say, of a Keith Jarrett or Chick Corea with his 2003 ECM debut, Changing Places, but it clearly struck a popular chord, as well as garnering no shortage of critical acclaim. Subsequent touring around the world, including a number of North American dates, honed ...
Sunna Gunnlaugs: Long Pair Bond
by John Kelman
With Long Pair Bond, Sunna Gunnlaugs returns to the piano trio format last heard on Far Far Away.

Wolfert Brederode Quartet: Post Scriptum
by Dan McClenaghan
ECM Records has a way of offering up music from various artists that seems as if it has existed forever--in nature, in the air--and that they, the label and the artists involved--be it pianists Tord Gustavsen or Bobo Stenson, or saxophonist Jan Garbarek--are simply conduits for grabbing those sounds and bringing them to the listening/CD-buying public. ...
