Donos Kulturalny: To będzie bez wątpienia jedno z najważniejszych wydarzeń polskiego jazzu w roku 2025
laboratoriummf: Zaginiona sesja odnalazła się. I mówi więcej niż niejeden pomnik
esensja: Przyznam, że już nie mogę się doczekać momentu, w którym w moje ręce trafi vol. 2. Choć wciąż raduję się częścią pierwszą, odliczam już dni z niecierpliwością.
jazz: Jest i kolejna sensacja: przez lata krążyły plotki na temat zaginionej sesji nagraniowej z udziałem legendarnego polskiego trębacza Tomasza Stańki i grupy skandynawskich i polskich muzyków
Jazz Views: Stańko’s trumpet sound-fragile one moment, fiercely declarative the next—has always carried a kind of haunted lyricism. Think the soul of Miles Davis with the edge of Don Cherry. But this session stretches him in new directions
Editor's info
For years, whispers circulated through the jazz scenes of Denmark and Poland—rumors of a lost recording session featuring the legendary Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stańko and a group of Scandinavian and Polish musicians. Now, nearly a decade after the session and seven years after Stańko’s passing, these long-awaited recordings are finally seeing the light of day.
The first of two albums, ‘The Copenhagen Sessions Vol. 1’ is set for release on May 16th, 2025 on April Records.
The project originated at Vallekilde Højskole in Denmark, where Stańko was invited to teach at JazzDanmark’s annual Summer Session. A storied program that has hosted luminaries including Bill Frisell and Anat Cohen, the summer school became the birthplace of this unexpected ensemble. Here, alongside a dynamic ensemble of young musicians, Stańko found renewed inspiration, embracing their compositions as much as his own—a rare occurrence for an artist known for leading his own groups.
