Tomasz Stanko New York Quartet
Concert 09.02.13, 8 pm
A Munich premiere for trumpeter Tomasz Stanko’s New York Quartet and for music written for the new album "Wisława", dedicated to the memory of the great Polish poet Wisława Szymborska, who died in February 2012. Stanko, rather like his early hero Miles Davis, has a gift for shaping great bands, and this one overflows with promise. The bass and drums team of Thomas Morgan and Gerald Cleaver is one of the most sensitive in jazz today, and young Cuban pianist David Virelles, inspired by ritual music as well as by Thelonious Monk and Andrew Hill, seems particularly well-attuned to the brooding darkness and sophisticated dread of Stanko’s free ballads.
