by AAJ Italy Staff
Ogni nota nella sua musica è essenziale e indispensabile al tempo stesso, una continua ricerca del “minimo" come forma solida dell'arte musicale. Una ricerca melodica che fonde elementi del folk scandinavo a musiche etniche di derivazione africana e caraibica. Lui è Tord Gustavsen, pianista norvegese tra i più affermati e interessanti della scena jazz europea contemporanea. ...
Espen Eriksen Trio: You Had Me At Goodbye
by John Kelman
When Rune Grammofon released In the Country's outstanding 2005 debut, This Was the Pace of My Heartbeat, it was promoted as the Norwegian label's “first jazz record." Still, that piano trio's eminently beautiful music retained the skewed edges so definitive of the label, while subsequent releases, including 2009's ambitious Whiteout, have aligned even more closely with ...

Tord Gustavsen Ensemble: Restored, Returned
by John Kelman

John Law: Deeper into the Music
by Jakob Baekgaard
Classical music and jazz are often perceived as two radically different art forms that cannot be merged. Historically, the idea of a so-called “third stream" that is able to combine the language of jazz and classical music into a coherent whole has proved rather difficult to translate into praxis, and yet it is undeniable that a ...
