Events Calendar: Thursday 2 September 2010

Following his breathtaking show in October 2007, Tord Gustavsen returns to the RNCM with a new ensemble.

This extended line-up is a natural progression of Tord’s trio work, but also adds new colour and dimension to the music through the sensibilities of some of the finest and most intriguing players on the vibrant, eclectic Scandinavian music scene. The music shows traces of inspiration from sources as diverse as Scandinavian folk music, Caribbean music, early blues and gospel. Tonight, Tord showcases his forthcoming album, which is based on a commissioned work written for the 2008 Vossajazz Festival, as well as featuring new versions of familiar pieces from his trio albums.
