Tord Gustavsen Trio: Being There
by AAJ Italy Staff
Terzo CD del trio del pianista norvegese Tord Gustavsen (dopo Changing Places e The Ground), questo At Home è un lavoro intimistico e rarefatto ma che, pur inserendosi nella tradizione nordica, vi immette alcune interessanti variabili. In primo luogo, nel trio appare più rilevante il ruolo della batteria rispetto a quello rivestito dal contrabbasso; poi, le ...
Tord Gustavsen Trio: Being There
by Budd Kopman
The full measure of the achievement of pianist Tord Gustavsen's Being There can really only be gained by going back to his two earlier ECM releases, Changing Places (2003) and The Ground (2005). The phenomenal reaction to the first album was surprising and begs an explanation. The simplest would be that Gustavsen's music ...
Tord Gustavsen Trio: Being There
by John Kelman
Since its 2003 ECM debut Changing Places, pianist Tord Gustavsen's trio has gradually been working its way out of a core concept that initially mined a surprising and remarkable wealth of what, on first glance, appeared to be a limited scope of tempo and dynamic.

Tord Gustavsen Trio: The Ground
by Ollie Bivens
Sure to be on many best of lists, The Ground is helping point the way forward for jazz music worldwide. The eleven chamber jazz tracks, all composed by Gustavsen, never stray far from blues and gospel music chords and voicings, and they produce a bountiful buffet. The piano trio adds a bit of Satie ("Tears Transforming"), ...
Tord Gustavsen Trio: The Ground
by John Kelman
When Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen's trio emerged on the scene in '03 with its ECM debut Changing Places, it was an odd phenomenon. On first glance it was so subtle-- almost too subtle--that it felt somehow underwhelming. And yet, over time, it revealed a charm, graceful beauty and slight melancholy that became more and more compelling ...

Tord Gustavsen Trio: Changing Places
by Javier AQ Ortiz
Quick and to the Point: There's no other point but excellence in this breath of fresh jazz. Devoid of bleariness, even when experienced as a placid stroll, Changing Places has accordionesque pianistic motifs and intermittently tango-sizing musical discreetnessas conceived and performed on the highlight, “Graceful Touch." On this tune, melodically strong sinuous sensuality and ...
