"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).

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".
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.

Allofmp3.com is one of many Russian websites that sell unauthorized mp3 downloads. Artists or labels do not receive any money from them. Ocassionally the Russian government shuts them down and then they pop up again with a new name.
