Tomasz Stańko
Born:
Tomasz Stanko was 20 and a graduate of the Cracow Music Academy when he formed his first band, the Jazz Darings, with pianist Adam Makowicz in 1962. Inspired by early Ornette Coleman and the innovations of Coltrane, Miles Davis and George Russell, the group is often cited by music historians as the first European group to play free jazz, but for the trumpeter its importance was eclipsed by the invitation to join Krzystof Komeda's quintet the following year. Stanko has acknowledged that much of his subsequent musical direction and his own compositional style was influenced by Komeda. The lyricism, the feeling of playing only the essential, the approach to structure, to asymmetry, many harmonic details. Stanko toured for five years with Komeda, appeared on 11 albums with him, and also made contributions to all of the films scores that Komeda realized in Poland.

Julia Hülsmann Quartet: Under the Surface
by Neri Pollastri
Tre quarti d'ora di musica suddivisa in dieci brani, con atmosfere mutevoli che convergono verso la title track e nel corso dei quali il rodato quartetto della pianista tedesca si allarga più volte a quintetto, ospitando la norvegese Ildegunn Øiseth: questo in estrema sintesi l'ultimo lavoro di Julia Hülsmann, ormai una delle figure di spicco dell'etichetta ...
