Tomasz Stanko – Soul Of Things (ECM)
It could have been Stanko masterpieces Litania or Leosia that made this list, but Soul Of Things, with a trio of young Polish musicians he mentored since their early teens, is his best selling album for ECM and more than any other brought him tothe attention of international audiences. It also contributed to the growing awarenessoutside Europe, particulary in the United States, that important music was coming out of the old world. An album of precisely focused moods, fragements ofmelody are crafted into masterful compositions shaped by the timelss elegance of Stanko’s trumpet and the copacetic playing of his young protégés.
