Left Over Lullaby No.3Album Remarks & Appraisals:
2010 release from lauded Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen. On Restored Returned, Gustavsen delivers a strikingly different album, branching off in new directions with a reconfigured band. Into the group come two Norwegian improvisers familiar to ECM listeners. New bassist is Mats Eilertsen, well-known for his work with Jacob Young. Saxophonist Tore Brunborg too, has previously been heard on ECM discs with Arild Andersen, Jon Balke's Magnetic North Orchestra, and Misha Alperin. For the first time on a Gustavsen recording, vocals are featured: the voice of Kristin Asbjornsen, with a husky timbre comparable to Billie Holiday or Madeleine Peyroux.Album Reviews:
JazzTimes (p.62) - "The overall mood still leans toward melancholy and down-tempo, and Asbjornsen's voice fits perfectly between Brunborg's sax and Gustavsen's keys..."Album Notes
