"The first notes sounded like drops on a lake. In the half-dark theatre of the Warande, Tord Gustavsen let his piano breathe. Softly, almost hesitating about which key to hit, but with an irrefutable depth."

Jesse Van den Eyden, The Optimist

​

“How these three sense sounds in the atmosphere, how they weave fine electronic ingredients into their delicate acoustic jazz, how they shape music from Bach or Nordic folks songs into emotional jazz, how they stage 20-minute pieces as a journey full of emotions and high points, how economy paired with warmth leads to moments that simply make you happy – this magical trio shows all this in Regensburg. And were greeted with thunderous applause.”

Christoph Giese, Jazzwise (UK)

​

“Gustavsen’s approach remains distinctive – he’s an artist with a vision, not an entertainer with a brand.”

Andy Hamilton, Jazz Journal (UK)

​

“… we can truly cherish the beautiful melodies that are at the heart of the trio’s formidable performance. There’s a glow to this music that I can not only hear … I can feel it. On Seeing Gustavsen has revealed the soul of his music. And I love it.”

Mike Gate, UK Vibe (UK)​
