Pensive Polish trumpet player explores the music of his Eastern European roots! If there were such as thing as Argentine klezmer, surely Stanko would have the genre to himself!--and so on. Oddly enough, all of the foregoing appear to be at least half-right in purely musical terms. In addition to Stanko's trumpet and the crisp rhythm section of Anders Jormin and Jon Christensen, there are other ECM stalwarts here in the diverse shapes of Dino Saluzzi, whose contribution on bandoneon is partly responsible for all three of the above impressions, and John Surman, who tellingly augments his trademark baritone sax with some less-than-usual clarinet work. Michelle Makarsk's violin completes the overall flavour of what is, in effect, a very successful trans-generic album. With compositions by Stanko, Surman and Krysztof Komeda, the whole is a sprightly, angular take on jazz-as-not-jazz. The production is well-suited to the music, being slightly more in-your-face than is customary for both Stanko and ECM in general. --Roger Thomas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 731454733625\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0731454733625\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 2140078\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47066649919747,"sku":"F3-ARGZ-XQB8","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/81CDhxOOPLL.jpg?v=1754346928","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/from-green-hill","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
