Tomasz Stańko / Germany 07.03.2005

This release captures a live performance in Saluza, Switzerland—featuring the singular Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stańko alongside the Marcin Wasilewski Trio—with audio quality rivaling official studio releases. Recorded during a period of artistic maturity that bridged the acclaimed early-2000s albums *Soul of Things* and *Suspended Night* with the later masterpiece *Lontano*, this is an essential listen that captures the very essence of Stańko’s art. Stańko’s trumpet—wistful yet piercing the silence—blends with a piano sound that fuses Nordic clarity with Eastern European melancholy; combined with the group’s tension-filled interplay, they create a profound musical world reminiscent of classic ECM recordings. Live at Jazz Baltica, Saluza, Switzerland (July 3, 2005): 1. Little Thing 2. Rising Ballad 3. Euforia 4. Piece 5. Kattorna 6. Witkacky 7. Celina. Tomasz Stańko (tpt), Marcin Wasilewski (p), Sławomir Kurkiewicz (b), Michał Miśkiewicz (dr).
