Plus special guests Graeme Stephen & Fraser Fifield.

Pianist Tord Gustavsen has released four critically acclaimed albums on ECM Records and toured the world with his stripped-down and spellbinding music. His last appearance at The Queen's Hall in October 2009 was one of the most arresting shows we've hosted and it's our pleasure to welcome him back in 2012 for the release of his fifth album.

The visit will see the quartet set-up of the Tord Gustavsen Ensemble featuring Tore Brunborg (saxophone), Mats Eilertsen (bass) and Jarle Vespestad (drums). They are some of the most intriguing players on the eclectic Scandinavian jazz scene and have further developed the sparse minimalism of Tord's compositions.

"Gustaven's lines are hypnotically strong" (The Guardian)
"A dozen contemplative wonders" (Billboard)
“The Nordic master of less-is-more piano... In various combinations, the players conjure a spare beauty from lullabies, hymns and ballads. It’s a distinct shift in the Gustavsen soundworld, but he’s still creating slow music that smoulders brightly.” (The Times)
