With a new fellow-traveller on board and its recording premiere in Lugano’s Auditorio Stelio Molo, the trio discovers inspired new ways to interact with each other, using innovative approaches to sound and technique in the process. Made up in equal parts of intricately textured improvisations and understated melodic hooks, the group’s conversations bring an enticing unfamiliarity to the language the Norwegian pianist has developed over almost two decades of collaboration with ECM. Tord Gustavsen: piano, electronics Steinar Raknes: double bass, electronics Jarle Vespestad: drums “Vibrates between the introspective and the dramatic in rich and singular ways. Scene-setting opener ‘The Circle’ sees Gustavsen exploring a modal melodic line of beguiling simplicity, with the trio’s sotto voce approach creating an atmosphere of hushed intimacy.” – **** Jazzwise (Editor’s Choice) “The focus of Opening remains the playing from Gustavsen and the rich accompaniment from his fellow musicians, creating an atmosphere perfect for a walk by a cabin at dawn, with the sun peeking in through the trees.” – Pitchfork “Norwegian piano star Tord Gustavsen’s long-honed recipe of low-key folk songs, gospel, classical music and jazz gets a graceful makeover on Opening – with new bassist Steinar Raknes, a player of uncannily responsive precision alongside regular percussionist Jarle Vespestad, while subtle electronics sometimes create ghostly horn-player effects.” – The Guardian “For Gustavsen, pieces such as Floytelat and Vaer Sterk, Min Sjel are routes into the sort of cerebral mysteries that the former church pianist has made his own. The first is a funereal theme where the notes he sprinkles like raindrops build into a fatalistic flood. The second, from the Norwegian Hymnal, is played with an innocent simplicity. Both are equally powerful…Remarkable music, Norwegian blues.” – The Times “Quietly beguiling release…With lesser artists the uniformity of mood and reluctance to turn up the volume would pall. But there’s an artistry to Gustavsen’s compositions, a skill in their execution, and a warmth to their spirit that keeps the listener engaged.” – LondonJazz News Artist Tord Gustavsen Trio Genre Jazz Label ECM Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings The Circle Findings/Visa från Rättvik Opening The Longing Shepherd Song Helensburgh Tango Re-Opening Findings II Stream Ritual Fløytelåt/The Flute Vær sterk, min sjel Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Tord Gustavsen Trio and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Tord Gustavsen Trio The Other Side Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 31st August 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tord Gustavsen Trio The Other Side £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 6758251 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Round About Midnight Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 8th August 2008 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Round About Midnight £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: CL949 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 8th August 2008 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto Getz/Gilberto Jazz | Analogue Productions | SACD Released 6th May 2020 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto Getz/Gilberto £32.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: CVRJ8545SA Formats: SACD Released Date: 6th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Haden The Golden Number (Verve by Request) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Verve | 180g, 1LP Released 7th June 2024 £33.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Haden The Golden Number (Verve by Request) £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Verve SKU: 5894819 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 7th June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jens Fossum Bass Detector Jazz | Ozella Music | 180g, 1LP Released 11th May 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jens Fossum Bass Detector £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Ozella Music SKU: OZ1057LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th May 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bud Shank Barefoot Adventure Jazz | Impex Records | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd December 2023 £51.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bud Shank Barefoot Adventure £51.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impex Records SKU: IMXLP6048 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Monk In Tokyo Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 18th November 2016 £59.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Monk In Tokyo £59.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: SOPW6970 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 18th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nina Simone My Baby Just Cares For Me Jazz | Wagram Music | 1LP Released 7th July 2017 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nina Simone My Baby Just Cares For Me £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Wagram Music SKU: 3340256 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers The Big Beat Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 18th January 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers The Big Beat £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LP84029 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kamaal Williams The Return (Indies Only) Jazz | Black Focus | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 22nd May 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kamaal Williams The Return (Indies Only) £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Black Focus SKU: BFR001LPX Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Chet Baker Chet Baker Sings Jazz | Valentine Records | 180g, 1LP Released 7th October 2022 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chet Baker Chet Baker Sings £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Valentine Records SKU: 896700 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 7th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
