De gamle salmetonene har fulgt meg siden jeg var barn – en sterk arv, en kondensert, kollektiv energi, rett og slett, melodier som har overlevd generasjoner. Tekstene, også, handler om fundamentale ting. Jazzmåten å ta det i “eie” på, er å bruke melodilinjene som en kjerne for å uttrykke seg her og nå. Det er grunnstoffet her, det helt basale. [Tord Gustavsen]
“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 Gustavsen’s trio’s ‘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 Oslo’s Rainbow Studio in January 2018 – he returns decisively to the piano trio, with faithful drummer Jarle Vespestad, and excellent new bassist Sigurd Hole. Hole’s approach to his instrument, drawing on folk influences as well as modern jazz, is ideally suited to Gustavsen’s slowly-developing, deeply melodic pieces. The album, produced by Manfred Eicher, is issued on the eve of a major tour.
