About Tomasz Stanko: Leading European jazz trumpeter, composer and bandleader. Since early 1960s he has been a principal force in European jazz. Highly unique and one of its kind music of Stanko played a crucial role in shaping the many forms of Polish and European jazz avant-garde. Its open form, abstract of expression, diverse interpretation and highly emotional, almost “human" tone of his instrument, characterizes music of Tomasz Stanko. His art is on one hand deeply connected with jazz universe of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Don Cherry, and on the other hand profoundly influenced by Slavic lyric and avant-garde form of Stanko's mentor and long time collaborator
