Free Music Review: What makes Tord Gustavsen so popular?
Hit: 5 Stars
That's an honest question, and I'll try to give an honest answer. Is it because in English his first name is one vowel removed from naughty scatological bodily excreta? Could be, but I don't think so. Is it because he plays the piano really slow? Again, that's certainly a possibility, but there's got to be more to it than that. After all, haven't there been other jazz pianists who played really slow? Help me out here. None readily comes to mind, so maybe one of you readers can give me a hand. In any case, there's got to be another jazz guy that played really draggily like the Tord-meister.
Is it because he's a Scandinavian, a denizen of that wonderland of social beneficence, where more than 50 cents on the dollar--way more, if my sources are accurate--goes to marvelous tax programs that give everybody and his uncle free college, and--who knows?--probably free Volvos and Saabs (though who'd want 'em, if you ask me) and allow the average citizen to retire at the age of 27? Perhaps. But somehow I think there's more to it than that.
Tord, you see, has figured out a new way to play jazz. He's fused, I'm thinking, classical rigor with a way cool cocktail lounge vibe in a manner that no one else in the long and, one must admit, sad, history of the world has done. Yeah, that wacko Ryuichi Sakamoto did something similar years before, but he's from the wrong side of the tracks, so to speak.
Anyhoo, this Tord guy is the bomb. Two measly discs under his belt and he's the next frickin' Bill Evans. Ten or 50 or a thousand years from now, he'll probably have faded from our collective consciousness. But right now, he's riding high. And jazz, being ephemeral by nature, readily accords him that fame.
Who am I to complain?
