Tomasz Stanko

The discovery of Tomasz Stanko's archive recordings from more than fifty years ago at Radio Bremen demonstrated the dynamic development of this shrouded in mystery quintet, which was a blank spot in the history of Polish jazz.

'Wooden Music II', recorded in Hamburg on 9 November 1972, is where composed pieces begin to emerge from wild improvisation. Some of these would, a few months later, find their way onto an iconic piece in Tomasz Stanko's discography.
