About Tord Gustavsen
Artist Biography
In his compositions, Norwegian pianist and composer Tord Gustavsen successfully melds brooding Nordic lyricism and modern jazz to strains of Scandinavian folk music; African-American gospel; European Protestant hymnody; and Afro-Caribbean melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. Whether performing in his own 21st century trios and quartets or in collaboration with others, Gustavsen's understated approach is roomy and spacious; it often sounds otherworldly, as evidenced by his ECM trio trilogy Changing Places, Ground, and Being There. His 2016 vocal quartet offering What Was Said depicted an unusual musical setting for the poems of Rumi. The trio offering The Other Side appeared in 2018, followed by Opening with new bassist Steinar Raknes in 2022.
