Tord Gustavsen Trio – Changing Places (ECM Luminessence Series) (2LP Vinyl)

With Changing Places, Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen introduced his trio to the world, immediately establishing a distinctive voice in contemporary jazz. Originally released to critical acclaim and even chart success in Norway, this album blends lyricism, subtle intensity, and graceful interplay to create music that feels both timeless and fresh.

Part of ECM’s Luminessence Series, Changing Places showcases Gustavsen’s gift for writing songs that sound like instant standards — memorable, melodic, and full of space for inspired improvisation. The trio balances gentleness with robustness, delivering a sound that is as inviting as it is sophisticated.

Now reissued as a 2LP vinyl set, the album continues to resonate as one of ECM’s most striking piano trio debuts.
