Tord Gustavsen. "A Norwegian pianist of lyrical and often halcyon sensibilities" (NY Times), Gustavsen and his trio bring a stripped-down approach in which beauty and emotional intensity are united. His new ECM release, Opening, explores the concept of openness and taking inspiration from the forces that surround us.
