This 2022 album captures the Tomasz Stańko Quintet in a period of focused, lyrical exploration of the trumpeter's signature sound. It's a testament to his enduring melodic sense and the deep rapport of his ensemble.
- Recorded in 2019, "Wooden Music I" was released posthumously in December 2022 on Astigmatic Records.
- The album features a quartet of Stańko, David Dorużka, Sławomir Kurkiewicz, and Michał Miśkiewicz, with Andrzej Jagodziński on piano for select tracks.
- The release follows Stańko's 2017 album "December Avenue" and continues his late-career trajectory of refined, atmospheric jazz.
Tomasz Stańko was a Polish trumpeter and composer, a leading figure in European free jazz. His Quintet was a key ensemble in his later career, exploring a more structured, melodic style.
