“It is clearer than ever: Gustavsen does not touch the keys, he sings on them.”—The New York Times
Norwegian jazz pianist and composer Tord Gustavsen draws listeners into a musical world where melody is cherished as much as the freedom to explore textures and soundscapes. His music is the offspring of American jazz traditions — including instrumentation and improvisation — and European culture. The result is a unique, immediately identifiable Nordic jazz sound that has won the hearts of music lovers worldwide and established Gustavsen as one of Scandinavia’s leading jazz artists.
