Tord Gustavsen Trio

Acclaimed Norwegian jazz pianist, Tord Gustavsen, has earned a vast and devoted following both with traditional jazz audiences and listeners from the ambient and new age circles. He is on a constant search for a fresh and radically stripped-down honest beauty in music. With his trio, he works to explore, integrate and serve a holy trinity of emotional intensity, elegance, and mediative musical breathing. Tord has released ten albums under his own name in trio, quartet and quintet formats.
“Musically, I have the very clear feeling that my stretching out and being creative has a much better chance of happening organically, avoiding alienation and stiffness, when done in energetic connection with my roots with the sensuality and groundedness of the hymns and the spirituals and the lullabies.” Tord Gustavsen
