About this concert
Avec la sortie de Changing Places en 2003, le norvégien Tord Gustavsen a présenté un nouveau son qui a attiré l'attention du monde entier, un exploit extraordinaire compte tenu de la riche histoire du piano jazz.
Il se concentre sur le lyrisme dans une approche dépouillée où la beauté et l'intensité émotionnelle sont unies. Il compose la plupart du matériel de son groupe, des compositions mémorables qui font écho à ses jours passés à jouer à l'église.
Sur son neuvième album Opening (2022), le trio de piano explore l'idée d'être ouvert aux forces qui vous entourent et de les laisser inspirer ce que l'on joue.
Dix nouvelles compositions de Gustavsen sont accompagnées d'œuvres des compositeurs norvégiens Geirr Tveitt et Egil Hovland.
