About
In his return to Saint Peter's Church, Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen's new trio presents a blend of Sufi poetry and Norwegian hymns. The music has just been released on the album What Was Said, his seventh for ECM Records. This new project builds upon Gustavsen's long and deep musical association with drummer Jarle Vespestad, introduces the entrancing Afghan-German vocalist Simin Tander, and explores the tradition of Norwegian church music in a most untraditional way.
