Another album I'm enjoying very much at the moment is this 70s ECM classic with a young Dave Holland and the amazing Edward Vesala. Stanko's trumpet playing is astonishing on this, as Chris Batchelor said to me, he sounds like Ayler!
Tomasz Stanko – Balladyna

if you don't know it check out Stanko's 'Matka Joanna', with Bobo Stenson, Anders Jormin, and Tony Oxley. I love Balladyna too, but if I had to pick then Matka Joanna is even better.
ReplyDeleteYes, that one is superb too!
