History
The Tord Gustavsen Ensemble consists of Tord Gustavsen (piano), Kristin Asbjørnsen (vocals), Tore Brunborg (saxophones), Mats Eilertsen (double-bass) and Jarle Vespestad (drums).
After a trilogy of trio recordings which explored a clearly-demarcated melodic terrain, Gustavsen’s latest effort is a strikingly different album from the pianist at the head of a reconfigured band. Into the group come two Norwegian improvisers - bassist Mats Eilertsen and saxophonist Tore Brunborg. Inside the ensemble new aspects of interactive possibility open up as duo, trio and quartet instrumental combinations explore the space inside Tord's compositions - his gospel-inflected hymns and lullabies and ballads and his pulsing, almost minimalistic grooves.
