New Tord Gustavsen Trio Album Features Bassist Sigurd Hole
After working in different band formats for the past decade, jazz pianist Tord Gustavsen has gotten back to the piano trio format. The Other Side features his longtime drummer Jarle Vespestad as well Sigurd Hole, who joins the band for the first time. A bandleader himself, the Norwegian bassist fits right into the trio’s sound by drawing on folk influences and modern jazz.
Together the group builds “slowly-developing, deeply melodic pieces,” with originals by Gustavsen as well as three adaptations of J.S. Bach pieces. Get a load of their syrupy grooves in this album trailer:
