Tomasz Stanko Quartet profile
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices from the ECM school of coolly European jazz;
always shifting between abstraction and obliquely beautiful melodies his tone is immediately identifiable. Having made full tours of the UK in recent years he has produced a run of highly acclaimed recordings for ECM that include ‘The Soul Of Things’ and ‘Lontano’, Stanko has become an artist who is equally at home playing Clifford Brown inspired blues as he is high-flying free jazz.
