Tomasz Stańko is not the first jazz musician to negotiate a rapprochement between gorgeous melodies and free improvisation … but he is one of the most eloquent proponents of extemporaneous lyricism working today.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Music was the essence of my father’s life, the spice. He felt it so deeply that the language of his art communicated beyond any borders.” —Anna Stańko
