With the album "Opening," Tord Gustavsen presents his distinctive trio explorations of Scandinavian folk songs, gospel, chorales, and jazz from a fresh perspective, featuring a new bassist for the first time.[1][2][4] At the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano, the trio explores previously uncharted avenues of interaction with a fresh sound and innovative techniques. The musical dialogues, characterized by delicate melodic motifs and meticulously constructed improvisations, lend a captivating new dimension to the musical language that Gustavsen has developed over nearly twenty years at ECM.
