"The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard?

Since it's ultimately about the music, I would highly recommend "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen. It follows their entry cd "Changing Places" which is also excellent. This is a jazz group from Norway with piano, bass, and drums. All selections are original and very melodic and complex. There seems to be no filler anywhere. The recording is sonically excellent on CD by ECM with no hi res available. The disc is ECM 1892 and can be found and listened to at a local Barnes and Noble (at least it's at mine).

I'm shocked no one has mentioned Suspended Night by Tomasz Stanko (with the trio mentioned above). Very easy to follow with lots of Impressionistic (eg, Bill Evans) scale and mode changes added to it.

I'll also recommend the new keith Jarrett solo concert "Radiance". Short pieces (for Jarrett, that is) that are either very heart wrenching or very virtuosic. It's worth every dime it costs!

Any opinions of the new ECM by the Keith Jarrett Trio "Always Let Me Go"?

Dopogue: Thanks for the info on other Pieranunzi discs!

Marty: I didn'mention "Suspended Night", but did mention Stanko. I like "...Night", but, FWIW, I like "Soul of Things" more. I haven't heard about "Always Let Me Go", nor can I find it at allmusic.com Where did you hear about it? Also, just in case you don't know: ECM is releasing a DVD of Jarrett's trio, I believe before Christmas - and I believe it will be the entire Tokyo concert from which excerpts were taken for "Radiance"

p.s. Wasn't "Always Let Me Go" released a few years ago. Obviously I don't have it, but I just realized it's title is very familiar to me. I believe it was one of the trios "free" recordings, a la "Inside Out".

Jfz, agree about "Soul of Things." Haunting album. Dave

Jfx,

Always Let Me Go is available online. If you go to allofmp3, you can give them $10 and download the whole thing as 384k files and burn them yourself with Exact Audio Copy. You save (they will only deduct $4 from the $10 and you can get more), Jarrett gets a cut, and you will have it in 30 minutes (if you have broadband internet).

If you have dial-up, then try cdnow.com or the major cd outlets. Be warned on price, for it's a double cd.
