Tord Gustavsen Trio/ At Home

주말의 한가함에 작은 터치,

Tord Gustavsen Trio의 At Home을 선물 받는다. 세상엔 내가 향유해보지 못한 것들이 얼마나 많은지. 세삼 내 존재의 빈약함이 애석하기만 하다. 알면 알 수록 더 고파지는 것들, 어디 사람뿐이겠는가?

He followed these releases with an ensemble formed during Vossajazz in 2008.[citation needed] It was composed of Gustavsen, Tore Brunborg (saxophones), Mats Eilertsen (bass) and Vespestad (drums).[3] With vocalist Kristin Asbjørnsen added for some tracks, the album Restored, Returned was recorded in 2009.[6] The album was awarded with Spellemannsprisen (the Norwegian Grammy).[7][8] The quartet's follow-up, The Well, was released in 2012.[7] That year, Gustavsen played over four days at the Montreal Jazz Festival: with the quartet, as a solo pianist and in a duo with vocalist Solveig Slettahjell.[9] The quartet album Extended Circle two years later "reveals a new edginess and dynamic impact that the quartet brings to Gustavsen's music."[3]
