A recommendation: If like me, you enjoy the music of Tomasz Stanko and some of the early electric Miles, have a listen to trumpeter Enrico Rava's album "The Pilgrim And The Stars'. (ECM 1063)
This fascinating album features original compositions and Enrico combines beautifully with John Abercrombie guitar, Palle Danielsson bass and Jon Christensen drums.
I missed his Syd Concert and flew to Melb to catch it there. I was not dissapointed. The duets between the percussionist, who is pure genious and the keybourds was mindblowing. Phrasing great, Money well spent. seeing them live is so far removed from listening to a CD. Another Galaxy.....
Thankyou ABC Jazz for this interesting interview with the wonderful Tomasz Stanko. Unique he is!
What a joy it was hearing his multi-influenced band of musicians live in Melbourne recently.
Hopefully, more ECM artists will grace us with their presence ongoing.
