Tomasz Stanko,

[Yellow]

May be I am hopelessly behide times but I just came accross this CD Tomasz Stanko, Suspended Night, wow.
For all jazz lovers, and the bass is great, just great.

Anyone else hear of these guys?

I really like his stuff, I have a bunch of radio concerts he did.

 

[Norwegianwood]

Yeah, he´s awesome!
My teacher have done some gigs with him, and can´t praise him enough.
I haven´t heard enough yet, though, but so far I like it.

Oh hell yeah! And I LOVE his rhythm section to bits. I think it's Wasilewski...and darned if I can remember the other guys' names. I have a CD of just the trio that is great, and than Stanko's Suspended Night as well. It's absolutely pure. I don't know many others who get a sound like this.

 

[Peter McFerrin]

I love Tomasz Stanko. I have his last three ECM discs: Suspended Night, Soul of Things, and From the Green Hill. I saw him live a year or so back, and it was amazing. His rhythm section is good, in that fluid Evans-LaFaro-Motian style.

 

[Yellow]

Yea totally, I gotta get some more of his stuff, by the sound of it any album will be good or do you have favourites?

 

[Peter McFerrin]

Any of his recordings on ECM (there are two or three more in addition to the ones I own) will be good. Soul of Things is the only other one that uses the same group configuration as Suspended Night, though, so be warned. From the Green Hill is really interesting, IMO, because it matches Stanko with multi-reedist John Surman (the secret weapon in the ECM arsenal) and Argentinian bandoneon ninja Dino Saluzzi for a texturally delicious sonic exploration.

I would love it if Stanko did a record with Kenny Wheeler, who is his complete opposite as a trumpeter in terms of tone yet seems like he's working from a similar place as a player.

 

[Yellow]

Peter or anybody do you have a tab for #3 song on Suspended Night by chance?

Wow what a line I just LLLLove it, sounds simple but I have a hard time picking it up.

Manu Katche's Neighbourhood is a nice album with Stanko, Jan Garbarek, Marcin Wasilewski, & Slawomir Kurkiewicz.
