Search - Tord Gustavsen Trio :: The Other Side

This is the chill-out as a state of grace, and it can go as deep as you like. Sublime. wrote the Independent on Sunday of the Gustavsens Trios Being There, released in 2007. Over the last decade Tord has experimented with other ensemble forms and formats, but on The Other Side - recorded at Oslos Rainbow Studio in January 2018 he returns decisively to the piano trio, with faithful drummer Jarle Vespestad, and excellent new bassist Sigurd Hole. Holes approach to his instrument, drawing on folk influences as well as modern jazz, is ideally suited to Gustavsens slowly-developing, deeply melodic pieces. The album, produced by Manfred Eicher, is issued on the eve of a major tour.
