[pmsmorga]

Panie Tomaszu, wiem, że zajrzysz tu kiedyś popijając whisky. Dlatego mówię głośno i wyraźnie: jesteś geniuszem - choć wiem, że w przypadku Twojej osoby i muzyki, która wychodzi spod Twojej Trąbki - 'duże słowa są zbędne - dajesz ludziom tak wiele radości, poczucia odnalezienia piękna, jakiegoś wewnętrznego spokoju i innych peanów, których znaczenia nie pomnę, że na usta ciśnie się tylko jedno słowo: DZIĘKUJĘ. Thank You, Just for being here. And doin your thing, Glad to hear your music.

[warrenclarkable]

nice sound, tone.

[zeligs1972]

I really Like this peace,

[Aristosek]

One of best pieces in YT history .. and 5 morons dont like it ?

[MARPA11]

It's just beautiful  yok ;)

[Smeegall]

Boring is not the word I’d associate with this. It’s sombre and mellow but not boring. This song really hits the spot if you’re in one of those introspective/dreamy moods.

[sergiojaz1]

Variations I and XII are more "deep emotion", for me, of course. I don't find THIS "Little Thing Jesus" on the album. Obrigado!

[zmacdoom]

Well, if you really want to listen to the amazing Tomasz Stanko come to Vancouver, BC, Canada tomorrow, the 30th of June 2010, where he is going to be playing at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival.

[MarcinLew]

I believe it's easier to go to NYC to hear him.

[lifesart1]

@MarcinLew True. Personally i would move to nyc for the jazz musicians that play there.

[Vassagus78]

Bez cienia wątpliwości mogę powiedzieć, że muzyka jaką gracie, jest najlepszą jaką w życiu słyszałem do tej pory. Sporo czasu w upłynie zanim usłyszę coś co spodoba mi się bardziej - jeśli w ogóle. Coś niesamowitego i absolutnie niepowtarzalnego. Mega, meeeeeeeeeeegaaaaaaa WYPAS!!!! :-)))))))))

[zioomalos]

The greatest person from Rzeszow!

[19MJ74]

As far as I'm certain of, you can find that piece on the Tomasz Stanko Quartet  DVD "Sounds Like Christmas"

[spawnedscarecrow]

hi there. I've tried to find this track . according to the information  provided lines behind, has been released in the album "soul of things", but i've tried to listen this album and doesn't appear on the track list......does anybody knows where can i find this track??? i want to buy it. thanks in advance..........

thanks again. Chapeau Mr. Stanko!

[FRANKyyyyy100]

Tomasz Stańko. Jeden z największych, obok Chopina.

[Carsonsaxplayer]

Fantastic! Beautiful phrasing, gorgeous melodies, and such a relaxed tempo! I've learned so much from this simple (yet complex) jazz statement.

[seferafafifinafa]

cudze chwalicie, swego nie znacie....

[oobodycountoo]

Absolutely great, beautiful articulation, hard to belive....i'am listening It constantly since 2h over and over

[kirbybud123]

The trumpet player is Tomasz Stanko. He is amazing!! Check out some of the other videos for him. The three guys that back him up are also unbelievably good.

[quixoticquest]

who is the trumpet player?

[WaRNZKS]

uwodzicielskie...;)

[lecommentdelavie]

Great and lovely song...

Thank you for this eternel moment...

Meriem from Morocco <3

[Cabernetta]

czytam wlasnie "Nine Dragons" Michaela Connelly gdzie glowny bohater dedektyw Harry Bosch slucha Stanki . Muza pasuje do ksiazki idealnie.

[drybtoja]

Byłem w Bydgoszczy na koncercie .Dla mnie to było fantastyczne przeżycie a nie jestem fanem jazzu .Dzięki za takie doznania panie Tomaszu

[bigeeezy]

Harry Bosch would approve :)

[Blugave]

@bigeeezy . Yea, I'm reading Nine Dragons and Harry mentioned this guy as being the Polish ghost of Miles Davis.....

[bigeeezy]

I bow to the Maestro

[daniell632]

One of great masters of free jazz. I love your sound and your style. Never anyone play with so great sweety and expression.

[KDH5010]

Ah, z początkiem grudnia koncerty na śląsku- już się doczekać nie mogę!

[anusiaaaaa]

12 grudzień - Lublin :)

[anusiaaaaa]

Polecam najnowszą płytę Pana Tomasza "Dark eyes" jest rewelacyjna a utwór so nice jest genialny...

[Hope6sic6]

Z której płyty jest ten utwór? Bo nie jest napewno z "Soul Of Things". ????

[branezmaj]

He will play in Belgrade, Friday 30.10.2009, 25st Belgrade jazz festival.

The place is "Dom Sindikata" from 21h30 until midnight.

[v1m]

My dream is to go to Poland to hear Stanko. Maestro!

[glitterglue66]

He's touring at the moment. I'll be seeing him in Shropshire, in November!

[mjt365]

Where can one find his tour dates? His website is often weeks out of date.

[zmacdoom]

Well, if you really want to listen to the amazing Tomasz Stanko come to Vancouver, BC, Canada tomorrow, the 30th of June 2010, where he is going to be playing at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival.

[berenger84]

@v1m He has a house in NYC, so you don't have to go to Poland :-D

[forklift77]

@v1m he comes to US every once in the while

[SouthernerByChoice]

On a certain level, a musician's influences can be of interest. So can whether he learned from records, a neighborhood teacher or at Berklee. But in the end, all that matters is how the music sounds and does it express human truth. This music does. And it sounds great.  Thanks for posting.

[inialny]

We have a good example here of the so called Christmas carol jazz played by a group of aparatchiks. In Poland they call it: "granie do kotleta".

[ioxaos23]

siedźże w tej australii i narzekaj na ich "kotleciarzy", plz, kthxbai.

[s3thfm]

przepraszam, ze sie tak wyraze ale w moich oczam masz, w bardzo szerokim znaczeniu tego pojecia -"bardzo zryty beret"

[slyme1711]

for me, Shtanko is the best and the newest voice of trumpet since Miles.

[bassann22]

whoever says that this is predictable composition or the solos, and that it is not extraordinary amazing ....must be crazy.....this is one of the best jazz i have ever heard.....americans may just listen and learn from these guys!!!!

[annja2991]

sekcja rytmiczna stańki to marcin wasilewski (fortepian), sławomir kurkiewicz (kontrabas) i michał miśkiewicz (perkusja)

[pseudoteolog85]

ktoś wie jak nazywa się kontrabasista? jak dla mnie rewelacja

[fredheart11]

so crazy good vibes thanks

[tomek6545]

Stanko jest jedyna postacia z ktorej jestem dumny jako Polak.

[semacomer]

a kieslowski, preisner, skalpel, pink freud

? mamy masę wspaniałych talentów

[grizu738]

i just love the silent, wonderful "singing" sound he has on the piano...

[guscaldas2]

It looks like my comment got a -4. He is a good pianist; better in other recordings. I am a jazz pianist myself and must say again that his solo here is very commonplace. It is a boring and overdone vamp. If you guys wanna experience intensity in solo piano playing you should check Hancock, Jarrett, Corea and Brad Melhdau.

[reotnu]

They rock, specially Marcin on piano. saw him live with his Trio, totally awesome!

[fredheart11]

like it.

piano terrible and bassiste genial.

what else

[BahuraTovah]

I saw them a year ago in Dublin. Amazing, wonderful, impossible to describe with words...

Tomasza znam ze spacerów w Parku Sczytnickim we Wrocławiu :-)

[RustoRahkeim]

The best By Far is the original 'Song For Sarah', track 1 of Suspended Night. Stanko's the Man.

[dionysosnomad]

The piano solo is incredibly intense. Without doubt, Poland is one of the leading nations of intelligent european jazz at the moment...

[guscaldas2]

I don' see how the piano solo is incredibly intense. It is a Herbie Hancock "wannabe" kind of solo without herbie's vitality

[fiddlercrab3]

What do you mean? He's just not overplaying. It's intense in feeling and emotion.

Besides, you can't seriously suggest that Herbie's style is the only valid one, or that he's the only influence on this guy.

[guscaldas2]

I did not suggest that. It looks like my comment got a -4. He is a good pianist; better in other recordings. I am a jazz pianist myself and must say again that his solo here is very commonplace. It is a boring and overdone vamp. If you guys wanna experience intensity in solo piano playing you should check Hancock, Jarrett, Corea and Brad Melhdau. I like Stanko Quartet in some occasions. Not on this one though

[fiddlercrab3]

Now that's more honest and well thought-out. The 'wannabe' thing rubbed me the wrong way; I don't think he wants to be anyone but himself.

Really, I'd say your complaint stems from a more general trend in jazz: Everybody's starting to sound the same, with a few notable exceptions (eg. Meldhau). The tradition of learning from records engrains the same sounds into every player's mind, so everyone ends up with the same influences. Don't knock Stanko Quartet, knock the existing jazz pedagogy.

[madero111]

@guscaldas2....Hey Gus i do agree with you i that this "Little Thing Jesus" recording by Stanko's group is a boring and overdone vamp because it is.

It''s just that some of us won't admit to it. I just find this kind of vamp very peaceful and relaxing.

I dig some jazz piano........i love me some Rachel Z and Amanda Tosoff !

Gus do you have some piano sounds on YTube? All i see is your "other" stuff.

I like M101....a beauty!

[pianist231]

@madero111 your entitled to your opinion, but i do agree it is relaxing. It isn't meant to make you feel on fire if thats what your trying to say haha. heavy metal will do the trick

[elefou]

Not only at the moment,but Poland has been what you described it for a long long time now.

[szy108]

Stańko zagra 6 czerwca w Krakowie:)

[komosalol]

witam ... mam pytanko ... czy ma ktos wz was wielich fanow Tomasza Stanko .. dostep do plyty z soundtrackiem z REICH-U ??? bardzo mi zalezy mi na tej plycie a nigdzie jej nie moge dopstac ... POZDRAWIAM !!!

[kuxinskas]

[rabin1111]

[pawel09]

[gwiaazdaa222]

bardzo fajne

[eskytube]

absolutely love the bass player ... his sound wasn't fantastic in the beginning, then afterwards you could hear how lyrically he interpreted his solo ... they were all great, thanx!

[kesu77]

[zbojkak]

jazz=natchnienie

[migfer1974]

[Jagienka567]

Naturalnie, trio jest niezastąpione ;)

[leszcz1]

[Jagienka567]

Jej...rozpływam się.

Kocham utwory Pana Tomasza.

[MarcinLew]

I need this one on dvd with DTS!!!

[kymaj]

i pomyśleć ze mialem kiedyś ten wyśmienity koncert zgrany na VHS z TV i zgubiłem go...ech

[KikiSchueler]

YES - I'm flying. Great music.

Where can we get hold of the full concert - either this one or one including the music from "Lontano"

[JazzSoundsGoodToMe]

Tomasz Stanko is one of my favorite recent trumpeters. Thanks so much for posting this! I actually sounds pretty good too!

I've got all of Stanko's ECM albums and all of them are fantastic. When I listen to his albums, I get lost in the sound, it's such a mysterious, dark, haunting sound. His current quartet is one of the best out there right now. The pianist Marcin Wasilewski in particular is wonderful. He adds such a deep feeling to the quartet's overall sound.

Great video!

[pogorider666mlody]

Hi, you must know that he started in early sixties! and his early records are even more beautiful than todays and what is more amazing he was never involved in any commercial shit to survive

god bless him

[rogut8]

Wiadomo, że Polak!

[soczez]

Exactly that's "suspended variation VI" from CD "suspended nigh"

[wardbundle]

saw these guys in Oakland, Amazing!!

[PatrickBateman667]

Panie Tomaszu jest Pan moim idolem.

[tfcamp]

Saw this group in boston, best show I've seen.

[Lukk5]

brilliant || kapitalne

[dotpainter]

I think it is 'Suspended Variation VI' from 'Suspended Night', not 'Little Thing Jesus'... beautiful indeed

[daegrant]

I am not sure but you might be right. No such track entitled "Little Thing Jesus" exists on "Suspended Night" (I can't imagine a different pressing exists in the US, say). Given the group's improvisatory bent, it's difficult saying which particular improvisation a live performance is or is based on

[hvaskaljegkallemeg]

Beautiful, yes!

[jasoncasper15]

Beautiful!

[paulfx]

Thanks for posting this! He's on tour in the states right now.
