Post Description

Tomasz Stanko (Rzeszów, 11 juli 1942) is een Poolse jazztrompettist en -componist, 
die veel optreedt met zijn Tomasz Stańko Quartet en Quintet. 
Stańko heeft zijn wortels in de free jazz. Hij was de eerste 
die met een Europese band deze jazzstijl bespeelde, in 1962.

Stańko geniet enige faam over de hele wereld, maar is vooral populair in de Verenigde Staten, 
waar hij vaak vergeleken wordt met Miles Davis en Chet Baker.

Over dit album:

Like his early hero Miles Davis, Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko has a gift for shaping great bands, and this one, 
formed in the world's jazz capital, overflows with promise. The bass and drums team of Thomas Morgan and Gerald Cleaver 
is one of the most sensitive in contemporary improvising, and Cuban-born pianist David Virelles, inspired by ritual music 
as well as by Thelonious Monk and Andrew Hill, seems particularly well-attuned to the brooding darkness and sophisticated 
dread of Stanko's free ballads. In the uptempo pieces all four players seem to enter new territory, with very exciting results. 
The double-album programme of the Stanko compositions is inspired also by the poetry of Wislawa Symborska, the Polish poet, 
essayist and Nobel Laureate, who died in 2012. As Stanko writes in the CD booklet, "Reading Wislawa Szymborska's words 
gave me many ideas and insights. Meeting her and interacting with her poetry also gave impetus to this music, which I would like 
to dedicate, respectfully, to her memory". (http://player.ecmrecords.com/tomasz_stanko_new_york_quartet-wislawa)
