A very welcome return to The Edge for Tord Gustavsen, who was here previously in 2007 with his trio. This included this evening’s drummer, Jarle Vespestad, but the trio’s bass player, Harald Johnsen, is here replaced by Mats Eilertson. The ensemble is completed by reed player Tore Brunberg who has been drawing audiences recently with the trio, Meadow. The Ensemble is currently touring with a new album. Tord has released four critically-acclaimed albums to date, on the ECM label, and has earned rave reviews for his unique style of composition and performance – described as “whispery, reverential north-European gospel music” by John Fordham in The Guardian, and “spellbinding” by Stuart Nicholson ion The Observer.
