Stanko Tomasz

En milstolpe inom europeisk jazz från 1970-talet, och en inspelning som fortfarande låter magnifik i dag. Trumpetaren Tomasz Stankos debut på ECM har haft ett betydande inflytande på generationer av improviserande musiker. Nu kommer den ut på vinyl som en del av ECM:s Luminessence-serie, i ett tip-on-gatefold-omslag med nya texter och fotografier från arkiven.

He's also a player who gives a great deal of thought to context, and a generous bandleader who encourages his co-players to express themselves within his world of dark melody. US magazine JazzTimes noted recently: "He writes melodies that pierce the heart like needles, but does not exactly write songs. His pieces are open forms, a few strokes or gestures that introduce a mood and set Stanko into motion. He needs musicians around him who can respond with independent creativity to his unique stimuli." Stanko's New York Quartet is among his most exciting projects.
