TOMASZ STANKO SEPTET 6. Svantetic (Krzysztof Komeda) Tomasz Stanko (t), Bernt Rosengren (ts), Joakim Milder (ts), Bobo Stenson (p), Palle Danielsson (b), Jon Christensen (d) Rainbow Studio, Oslo, Februar 1997 von: Litania – The Music of Krzysztof Komeda (ECM, CD, 1997) The jazz scene was very active in Poland at the time and there was a lot of communication going on with film directors, writers, actors. In the middle of all this was Komeda – a very quiet man. At rehearsals he told us nothing, nothing. He would give us the score and we would play and the silence was very strong and intense. He wouldn’t say if we were right or wrong in our approach. He’d just smile. We played a lot, considering the period (1963–67). Journeys to Scandinavia. Residencies at the Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen and the Golden Circle in Stockholm. We played in Norway, too. There were festivals in Kongsberg, Bled, Prague, Warsaw. And we gigged all over Poland. Komeda wrote his most important compositions for this band – taking off in the directions of larger forms with works like “Svantetic” and “Requiem” as well as towards free jazz in which he was increasingly interested.
