| Tomasz Stanko’s smouldering Slavic soul music and grainy-toned trumpet
finds a new context on “Dark Eyes”. Like his hero Miles Davis, the
Polish jazz master also has an impressive record as talent scout and
mentor, and his latest ensemble pools young players from the North of
Europe. Tomasz has had strong connections to Finland in particular
since the early 1970s when he was part of Edward Vesala’s creative
circle. Now he welcomes two prodigiously gifted Finns into his group,
pianist Alexi Tuomarila and drummer Olavi Louhivuori, both expressive
and imaginative players. On “Dark Eyes”, Jakob Bro, the young guitarist
heard on ECM on Paul Motian’s “Garden of Eden” is cast most often in
the role of subtle colourist, while fellow Dane Anders Christensen, on
electric bass throughout, provides the band’s throbbing pulse. The
programme features new Stanko compositions, including “The Dark Eyes of
Martha Hirsch”, inspired by an Oskar Kokoschka canvas, plus a new
version of “Last Song” from Tomasz ECM debut “Balladyna”, as well as
“Dirge for Europe” and “Etiuda baletowa nr. 3” from the pen of Krzysztof
Komeda. |
