Free Music Notes for The Ground
Free Music Review: An entire CD worth buying
Hit: 5 Stars
99% of music is one or two good cuts with a lot of filler. Which I guess is understandable; it's hard to write and perform good music. iPod (and Kazaa and so forth) let us just get our favorites. This CD is all good. The cuts range from very good to just great. You hear new things in every piece every time. He really is doing a lot - his quality is in his composition, his creativity, not in speed or power or flash. I really do feel kind of sad for the people, for whom this sounds like lounge.

This CD has been blowing my mind for about two weeks now. I'm a big fan of ECM, I think they've been putting some really interesting jazz out there for awhile (Joe Maneri, Jan Garbarek, Charles Lloyd,Keith Jarrett, Dave Holland, etc.), and this is no exception. From the subtly glowing, out of focus album art, to the heart rending beauty of songs like 'Being There', and, 'Kneeling Down', through the slow drag of the intro to 'Curtains Aside', up to the brilliantly upbeat outro to 'The Edges of Happiness', this CD is amazing. It's solid all the way through, a perfect soundtrack for all kinds of activities, something to just sit down and let float through your mind too. Tord Gustavsen on Piano, Harald Johnsen on double bass, and Jarle Vespestad on drums. I am bowled over by this fantastic outing.
Just thought I'd share. I always like to spread the good jazz around.

that is the feeling you get from this music. not like ordinary dinner jazz that you can blot out as blah-blah-blah in the background. this is one of those conversations that you feel drawn to listen in to. no one overstates their point. they just make a good point and let you digest. if you are 1: (gawd awful) tired of virtuosos who can offer nothing more interesting to than a lightning rendition of scales and 2: in a mellow mood anyway - give this a try. i like it a lot.

Sentimental sans toutefois sombré dans le mélo-dramatique, doux sans jamais nous ennuyer, caressant en refusant de passer pour de la mieverie, le nouveau Tord Gustavsen Trio fait partie de ces disques qui nous accompagneront toute notre vie! Compagnons de nos chagrins, de nos introspections, de nos moments intenses, ils sont non seulement des îlots sonores où se réfugier, mais aussi des créations qui se veulent étonnantes par leurs échos immédiats. Comment ne pas être touché par le son délicat de ce trio, par ses multiples aventures au coeur même d'une musique aussi riche qu'émouvante. Tout ce disque nous propose des paysages sonores à l'évocation sentimentale; des trajets de nuit dans les sentiers souvent mélancoliques de l'amour. Aussi magnifique, sinon meilleur que leur tout premier album (Changing Places), ce nouvel opus devrait rapidement s'inscrire dans les meilleurs albums produits par des trios. Nous ne sommes pas bien loin ici de la limpidité du trio formé de Bill Evans, Scott LaFaro et Paul Motian au début des années 60.
