Title - September Night
Artist - Tomasz Stanko Quartet

For those unaware, recorded at Munich’s Muffathalle twenty years ago, in September 2004, this previously-unreleased concert recording of the Tomasz Stanko Quartet is a fascinating document, capturing a developmental chapter in the music between the song forms of the Suspended Night repertoire and the improvised areas that the Polish musicians would explore on Lontano.

The Munich show was a highlight in a year in which the Stanko Quartet played a record number of gigs, with extensive tours of the US and Europe. The great trumpeter himself is at his charismatic best here, playing superbly, clearly inspired by the energetic support and communicative power of Marcin Wasilewski, Slawomir Kurkiewicz and Michal Miskiewicz, the dynamic young players for whom he had been a mentor. The live album was produced by Manfred Eicher.

1. Hermento’s Mood
2. Song For Sarah
3. Euforila
4. Elegant Piece
5. Kaetano
6. Celina
7. Theatrical

Produced by Manfred Eicher, and mixed by Eicher with Marcin Wasilewski and Stefano Amerio, the album opens on the diligently hued Hermento’s Mood and then we get the aching yearn that drives Song For Sarah and the all-embracing Euforila.

Along next is the motivated, yet cultured, and aptly-titled Elegant Piece which is itself backed seamlessly by my own personal favorite on this new recording, Kaetano, rounding out on the joyful Celina, closing on he diligently crafted, delicately-hued, ultimately pensive Theatrical.

Tomasz Stanko Quartet:
Tomasz Stanko - Trumpet
Marcin Wasilewski - Piano
