overview
April/May 1982, at Polskie Nagrania Studio, Warsaw, Poland
Tomasz Stanko - trumpet
Slawomir Kulpowicz - piano
Vitold Rek - bass
Czeslaw "Maly" Bartkowski - drums
This superior album was recorded in Poland in early 1980s -the period of political turmoil and social oppression (marshal law).
The album documents short lived but very important Stanko's cooperation with McCoy Tyner - influenced pianist Kulpowicz, one of the most innovative bass players in Europe - Rek and the legendary drummer Czeslaw Bartkowski.
This is the fascinating document of artistic freedom, independence and creativity; musically leaping forward to another Stanko's "Polish Quartet" from the beginning of the 21 Century (Wasilewski, Miskiewicz, Kurkiewicz).
