There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind. ∞
Duke Ellington.
Sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in peace, Mr. Stanko.
We're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
It won't be visible through the air
And there won't be any shade to cool the monument to prove that we were here. - Gene Parsons, 1973

"And this is the chorus.....or perhaps it's a bridge...."

A great talent for over 50 years, starting with the wonderful K. Komeda.

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]

Interesting that the band had both electric and upright bass. Different sound too from this group, hard to pin down stylistically. Great player.
For those interested, an interview I did with Tomasz back in 2004. Tomasz Stańko: Lyricism and Liberation (the photo is one I shot when I saw him at the Molde Jazz Festival in 2009, with the Dark Eyes Quintet).
