by John Kelman
Trumpeter Tomasz Stańko has found increasing international exposure in recent years due to a string of fine ECM recordings, including Leosia (1997), Litania (1997) and Suspended Night (2004). But while his reappearance on the international scene is relatively recent, he has a perhaps not-so-surprisingly considerable discography released only in his native Poland, which ranges from Bosonossa ...
Tomasz Stanko
by Budd Kopman
Trumpeter and composer Tomasz Stanko (b. 1942 Rzeszow, Poland) was present at the birth of modern European jazz.

Tomasz Stanko: Suspended Night
by AAJ Staff
It won't come as a surprise to listeners attuned to trumpeter Tomasz Stanko's personal style, but Suspended Night is an incredibly soft and gentle record. Of course, the danger with toning things down is that they sometimes expire, but Stanko knows how to move along simply without running out of gas. The sheer elegance of the ...
Tomasz Stanko: Suspended Night
by John Kelman
No matter how much you like a record, after repeat listenings it runs the risk of becoming almost too familiar. As adventurous as it may be, the very nature of the recording process, where every note and texture is given permanency, can cause even the best albums to lose their sense of adventure and immediacy. Not ...
