Music reviews of The Ground
Music Review: There is a lot going on, without showing off
Rating: 5 Stars
This album is full of interesting ideas, great melodies and skillfull playing, but without the in-your-face showing off of chops that we often get served in US piano trios. Yes, it takes more careful listening to see how great these musicians are, but it is worth the effort. And the fact that the music works on many levels, including just being beautiful, helps as well. If you like this, you might also enjoy Marcin Wasilewski trio.
Description of The Ground
The second album by Norwegian pianist and composer Tord Gustavsen is another set of crystalline beauty. Lyrical in both his writing and playing, the music is informed by his Scandinavian homeland's austere landscapes, as well as a wide swath of jazz traditions and gospel influences from his youth (as a teenager Gustavsen was a church organist). The trio's interplay is supple and subtle to the point of the rhythm section sounding like they're actually a part of the piano. The music's gentle propulsion seems to be carried forward equally by all three players. Emotionally resonant, the warmth and clarity of ECM's high production standards captures every nuance -- even lightly struck cymbals resonate with incredible presence. --David GreenbergerGeneral CDs
