About:
This already widely admired record is a creation of three free style masters: the famous trumpet player and composer Tomasz Stanko and two Norwegians - bassist Arild Andersen and drummer Jon Christensen. Six compositions by Stanko and three by Andersen form together a logical sequence, an entity in a larger sense.
What the critics say:
'Stanko developed his own, highly integrated, transparent style. The music on this record is really absorbing, the execution-impressive'. (The Wire)
'A marvelous record from Rybnik-based label, which deserves the widest distribution. Paired with northern European's premier rhythm section, Stanko seems content to work a long way clear of any fixed measures'. (The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings)
'The beginning of Stanko's triumphant return from another side of the moon'. (PolishJazz.com)
