The great Polish trumpeter, long a Readingsfavourite, unveils his new young Finnish/Danish quintet. He’s added guitar, and theheartbeat of the group is now a primal,pulsing electric bass. Make no mistake,Stanko’s singular trumpet is still the mainvoice here – his hypnotic, incantatorymelodic statements give wing to extendedflights of brilliance. Like his hero MilesDavis, Stanko keeps getting better and neverfalls for routine. A major achievement.
