Description:Auf Opening rückt Tord Gustavsen seine einzigartigen Erkundungen von skandinavischen Volksliedern, Gospel, Choral und Jazz in ein neues Licht. Mit Neuzugang Steinar Raknes am Bass entdeckt das Trio im Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano inspirierte Wege, miteinander zu kommunizieren. Der intime Austausch der Gruppe, der zu gleichen Teilen aus komplex strukturiertem Zusammenspiel und unaufdringlichen melodischen Refrains besteht, bringt eine verlockende Unbekanntheit in jene Sprache, die der norwegische Pianist während der fast zwei jahrzehntelangen Zusammenarbeit mit dem Label entwickelt hat. -
2022 release. On the album Opening, Tord Gustavsen reveals a fresh angle to his particularly unique trio investigations into Scandinavian folk hymns, gospel, chorale and jazz. With a new fellow-traveller on board, the trio discovers inspired new ways to interact with each other, using innovative approaches to sound and technique in the process. The group's conversations bring an enticing unfamiliarity to the language the Norwegian pianist has developed over almost two decades of collaboration with ECM.

"Opening" is a contemplative jazz piano trio album by the Tord Gustavsen Trio, released on CD by ECM Records. With its spacious sound, subtle dynamics and lyrical melodies, the album explores quiet intensity rather than flashy virtuosity. Gustavsen's touch on the piano is delicate and expressive, supported by deeply responsive bass and drums that leave plenty of room for silence and resonance. The compositions unfold slowly, inviting the listener into an intimate sound world where every note feels carefully chosen. This CD is ideal for late-night listening, focused headphone sessions, or as an elegant, unobtrusive soundtrack for reading and reflection.

The Tord Gustavsen Trio is known for its poetic blend of Scandinavian lyricism, jazz tradition and influences from folk and sacred music. Over the years, Gustavsen has developed a distinctive style characterized by singable melodies, understated grooves and an almost meditative atmosphere. His albums on ECM have received international acclaim, with several releases appearing on critics' lists of the best jazz recordings of their respective years, helping establish him as one of the key voices in contemporary European jazz. The trio's music often appeals not only to jazz aficionados but also to listeners from classical and ambient backgrounds.

ECM Records, founded in 1969 in Germany, is renowned worldwide for its audiophile production quality, elegant minimalistic artwork and a catalogue that ranges from modern jazz to contemporary classical music. The label has introduced and supported many influential artists and is celebrated for its distinctive, crystal-clear sound aesthetic and attention to detail in recording and mixing. With "Opening", ECM once again underlines its reputation as a home for innovative, introspective jazz that rewards repeated, attentive listening.
