What Was Said (released January 29, 2016, on the ECM label) is an album by pianist Tord Gustavsen, vocalist Simin Tander and drummer Jarle Vespestad.

[1] The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded What Was Said 4 stars and stated "This band incorporates improvisational elements into the core of each composition, and the role of the singer is as a co-conspirator in the creation of the moment.".

[4] Writing in The Guardian, John Fordham called it "returning to simple songs with religious roots, and to collaboration with a remarkable singer".

[3] The All About Jazz review by Mark Sullivan said that "However unorthodox all this cross-translation seems, Tander makes it sound completely natural.

Gustavson still plays the piano as his main instrument, but has augmented it with discreet electronics and occasional synthesizer bass, while Vespestad provides percussive textures or timekeeping as required.
