Tomasz Stanko - From The Green Hill

Personnel:

Tomasz Stanko: Trumpet
John Surman: Baritone Saxophone, Bass Clarinet
Dino Saluzzi: Bandoneon
Michelle Makarski: Violin
Anders Jormin: Double-Bass
Jon Christensen: Drums

Using a different lineup (including John Surman on baritone saxophone and bass clarinet, Dino Saluzzi on bandoneon, and Michelle Makarski sparingly on violin), Stanko creates another masterpiece. The mood is again introspective and atmospheric, including the pieces written by Surman. "Litania," a chorale by Komeda, appears twice played on bandoneon, almost as tears. "Quintet's Time" has one of the most haunting motives ever written, while "From the Green Hill" could easily be movie music. Adjectives fail to describe this music adequately but time stops for 73 minutes, and it must be experienced.
(Budd Kopman, Allaboutjazz).
