Product Description

Chronique amazon.fr

Manfreid Eicher, patron du label ECM, n'a jamais caché son amour du piano acoustique. Qu'il s'agisse de solo ou de trio le plus souvent, dans une veine romantique que l'on pourrait qualifier de post-evansienne, on lui doit la production de quelques albums pétris de lyrisme, dont les principaux fleurons pourraient être Facing You de Keith Jarrett, Tales Of Another de Gary Peacock (avec Jarrett, encore) ou Open To Love de Paul Bley. D'autres musiciens, également passionnants, de Bobo Stenson à Richard Beirach en passant par Mal Waldron ont aussi été associés à l'aventure de cette enseigne. Nouvelle signature à l'aube des années 2000, Tord Gustavsen, que peu d'amateurs connaissaient au moment de la sortie de cet opus en trio, serait alors déjà, à en croire la rumeur, promis à un bel avenir – peut-être de ceux qu'ont connus avant lui Brad Mehldau ou Bill Carrothers et Esbjörn Svensson. C'est de Norvège que vient ce musicien, ici accompagné par les subtils Harald Johnsen à la contrebasse et Jarle Vespestad à la batterie (déjà découvert au sein du combo d'electro-jazz Supersilent), à qui Changing Places doit beaucoup. Car la complicité est totale entre ces trois-là, qui empêche l'ensemble, exclusivement composé de ballades, de sombrer dans la mièvrerie qui guette ce genre d'entreprise. Au contraire, de "Deep As Love" à "Songs Of Yerning" (en solo), jamais la tension ne fléchit, bien que ce qui se dit là soit plutôt de l'ordre du murmure. C'est-à-dire tout en nuances et demie-teintes. --Philippe Robert

5.0 out of 5 stars Nordic cool. . ., July 9 2004
By 
Ronald Scheer "rockysquirrel" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Changing Places (Audio CD)
Lyric, melodic, hypnotic, definitely cool jazz. The cuts on this 66-minute CD are like chilled vodka over ice, way, way after midnight.

The opening tracks, "Deep as Love" and "Graceful Touch," are aptly titled, both leisurely and tense, seeming to willfully resist movement forward, keeping the lid on, as fingers lightly touch keys and strings and then break out in brief releases of strength, which are quickly contained again. You listen, rapt.

Nervous energy surfaces more urgently in the following "IGN," and then we are back in the lingeringly cool groove with "Melted Matter," breaking out at moments in the following "At a Glance," which ends again quietly.

And so it goes. This is a wonderful CD for lights-low, after hours listening. The booklet that comes with it has portrait shots of the trio: Tord Gustavsen (piano), Harald Johnsen (double-bass), and Jarle Vespestad (drums). Recorded in Oslo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recording, subtle and technically splendid!, May 29 2004
By

This review is from: Changing Places (Audio CD)
When I first heard "Changing places" I thought it was very precise and technically flawless, yet it felt "cold", devoid of warmth. How wrong I was when I heard it again and again. Not only is it warm and appealing to many listeners across many genres, it is a masterpiece, impossible to overlook.

This recording will grow with you. I envisage that I will be enjoying this recording by this Norwegian Trio as much now as I will for many years to come.

Listen to the Tango-like tunes - very subtle and interesting. Obviously Tord Gustavsen is supported well with the equally talented Harald Johnsen on double-bass and Jarle Vespestad on drums.

Not just background music, although it is excellent for party dinners or simply in front of the fire with a nice red!

I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars WILDCHILD, May 19 2004
This review is from: Changing Places (Audio CD)
Norway has produced Jan Garbarek & Tord Gustavsen, I think I will have to move there.This cd "Changing Places" (what a great title) has music that touches the center of your being. I have just heard Tord for the first time, & I had to repeat playing the cd. This musician has a musical depth, his harmony & melodic structures give this cd an enchanting freshness that seems to come from the Nordic folklore & music that I beieve inspires his & Jan Garbarek's music. I was at a Jan Garbarek concert in Sydney 2 months ago, the question could have been asked "is it jazz?". But Tord like Jan are improvisors of the highest order, it certainly is not jazz of the 30's,& 40's. For art to live there must be change. At some time in their career, Bird,Miles,Coltrane & Bill Evans were accused of not playing jazz, but they were, it was dressed in new clothes. I am very impressed with this cd & will be looking forward to Tord's next release. I wish him every success.
