life is good when you're listening to Tomasz

[@jamesafenton]

I discovered Tomasz (and beautiful Jacob Bro) with "Dark Eyes," an album that was the only source of light and beauty I had when I went thru a terrible divorce. I missed my children so much the pain was only lessened when I listened to it when I drove alone at night in my shitty car crying under the cold moon in a horrible city and was scared of the next day, so dull of regret and pain

[@PhilBaird1]

Tomasz was one of the greatest poets of modern jazz and he told a story every time he played. Thankyou Manfred for this beautiful tribute. We loved his music.

[@janpierzchala2004]

A poet, a painter, and above all - a philosopher of jazz. He understood, he knew.

[@bartomiejz3665]

Thank you. I'v been listening Stanko for many years. For me he is the number ONE. Above Miles and others (in term of pure music poesia). There are feeelings nobody other can play so deep from heart. Sometimes it is so hard no to cry. I wish this was played at my funeral.

[@grzegorzjakubowski7043]

Bardzo dawno temu bywalem w Krakowie na koncertach jazzowych, i innych zreszta tez: w Jaszczurach, w Krzysztoforach, w klubach studenckich, etc. Quintet Stanki, jeszcze z Muniakiem i Seifertem widzialem kilkakrotnie. Podobnie jak tak tez i Mainstream, z Blizinskim ... Zadnego z nich tez juz nie ma, odeszli jeszcze wczesniej. Pamietam , ze po smierci Seiferta, bylem wtedy studentem PK Wydz. Arch, trzepnelo mnie niezle. Osmielilem sie cos powiedziec o tym do kolegow. Jeden z nich, podczas zajec sportowych, zapytal mnie: "Czy sie z nim zeniles ?" ... Pewno, ze nie, ale jak tu wytlumaczyc prostakowi, ze nawet w wieku moich wtedy dwudziestu kilku lat, smierc czlowieka ktory cos wtedy znaczyl, ktory mogl z PRL owskiej Polski "wyeksportowac" na "Zachod" swoja prawdziwa sztuke jak rowny z rownym - znaczyla wiele. I o wiele wiecej niz sama tylko muzyka. Zreszta pamietam rowniez z tamtych czasow Urbaniaka, wspomianego rowniez w komentarzach, a w Chicago zetknalem sie tez z Urszula Dudziak. Macie racje ... sztuka pozostanie ! To jest nasze szczescie. Bo ja tez jestem artysta, choc tylko wizualnym ...

[@normalundberg6848]

Of course I want my most-loved-and-listened-to musicians to live forever, so I felt bereft to hear about Stanko’s death, and retrieved my five ECM cds by him from the shelf. There are gaps to fill....his absence a notable one. His style was unique; I consider it deeply soulful and poetic. Many thanks for this tribute.....a fine sampling.

[@jazz4asahel]

I'm saddened. I loved the man from afar, and found a soul of Poland through his and his young musicians' music. Rest, then play again!

[@craiglehoullier9175]

This is crushing news - the loss of my current favorite jazz musician - Soul of Things, Suspended Night, Dark Eyes, and especially, Lontano, have accompanied countless Sunday morning breakfasts, relaxing afternoons - such brilliance, fire, tenderness, soul - it is all there. His unique sound (his trumpet is instantly recognizable) has been such a comfort and joy. Charlie Haden, Paul Motian, Kenny Wheeler, John Abercrombie - now this - we are losing so many brilliant musicians. Thanks to ECM their music will live on forever....but the prospect of no new releases from any of these titans is a tragedy, though of course inevitable...for us all. Thank you for all of the pleasure that your creations and notes provided for our lives, Mr Stanko.

[@jessemantyh796]

Craig, sounds like you are a huh fan of T.S., I as well. Many fans such as you and I only have his recordings on ECM...Heads up, his Tomasz Stańko - Music From Taj Mahal And Karla Caves LP is amazing!! There are clips here on youtube

[@evasambor7550]

Memories... I saw him first time when we were all young and tender - Jazz Jamboree, Warsaw, Poland, 1973. RIP. Your music will live forever!

[@evenzero]

he played from the heart, RIP

[@denniswatson1120]

I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to see Tomasz perform his beautiful music not long before he passed. A rare talent.

[@walkabou5]

I missed news of Tomasz's death until yesterday, nearly a year on. Very sad that he's gone but I was fortunate enough to see him live on a couple of occasions. Once at The Barbican in London in March 2010 where he played the music of Komeda and then at the London Jazz Festival in November 2017 where he signed my programme. One of the greats, he is badly missed but what a great legacy he has left us to enjoy always. May he continue to Rest In Peace.

[@williamrabon8839]

Thank you, Tomasz, for each and every note you played on your trumpet, your work with Krzysztof Komeda, and, of course, for your own timeless and innovative compositions, all of which will continue to give pleasure to us and will inspire future generations of jazz musicians. To his family, his loved ones, and close friends, please find strength to carry on (he would wish nothing less) and when you think of him remember the good times, when he made you laugh and feel loved. Also, please believe that his spirit is with you and with those he loved who have already passed on. I can imagine Tomasz and Krzysztof reunited, playing their old favorites and creating beautiful music, music that is truly universal. You, too, will some day be reunited with your Tomasz, I promise you.

[@knudplambeck7748]

Einzigartig, das Zusammenspiel mit dem Marcin Wasilewski Trio... er hinterlässt uns das Wertvollste - einen Schlüssel zu unserem Innersten...

[@kirimpyssa3851]

Szacuneczek panie Tomaszu. Do dziś nie potrafię się obyć bez kieliszka czystej przy ścieżce dźwiękowej z reichu. Ta muzyka nastraja. Rip

[@OWOspirit]

Tomek jesteś jednym z niewielu z którego sukcesu autentycznie się cieszę , byłeś mi potrzebny i mogłem z ciebie skorzystać.Dotarłeś i docierasz na czas,mówię to jako twój rodak i 36 letni chłopak.Bardzo mi ciebie brak wśród żywych , bardzo zbiednieliśmy jako ludzie.Wracasz sobie do mojego życia kiedy chcesz, nawet po śmierci i kiedyś sobie pogadamy.

[@rpkrauss1]

Your beautiful soulful playing will be truly missed...! R.I.P Bro, you have earned it....

[@v1m]

Hard to say farewell, dear Tomasz! We'll hear your voice as long as there is music.

[@danutawawrzkiewicz3389]

RIP, Spoczywaj w Pokoju, Tomaszu

[@angl509]

strasznie smutno

[@bozena2528]

Refleksyjnie

[@georgelovell5956]

He was to have played in Krakow when I was there on Monday July 23, not to be, and died six days later. I never heard him play live, and would very much have liked to -- but his wondrous ECM recordings will always be there, music of the spheres. Lovely tribute to a glorious trumpeter extraordinaire.

[@cliverhodes3760]

Sleep safe and warm Stanko..........I loved your work and will continue to listen to and for you,Farewell.

[@jessemantyh796]

Absolutely crestfallen to lean of T.S.'s passing. He truly was one of my favorite artist. Not a week has passed in the last 10 years that I have not listened to him. I will treasure his recordings. Blessings and peace to his family and friends.

[@waltgray807]

I am blown away. T.S is a gift for the ages. Every note counts. Thanks

[@MookyRonia]

A unique and great musician. R.i.p.

[@jazziokolice1]

Panie Tomku, dziękuję

[@angl509]

Ja też dziękuję za te piękne płyty, wspaniałe koncerty, piękne choć krótkie rozmowy ... Cóż ... pozostał ogromny smutek...

[@drpangloss6725]

His music was poetic....sad to hear he’s gone His music stays with us all! RIP!

[@radiodelevine]

Such a beautiful and soulful musician, with such a tone and character, he is without peer as a trumpeter

[@rfos276]

Soulful,articulate proponent of the trumpet. R.I.P.

[@knoxblabernie]

Memory eternal, Tomasz. I only learned of your music a year ago, but I will be listening until I die. You have given me a precious gift and your music has made my life more wondrous than it was before.

[@robjones2408]

A lovely tribute to a great, great jazz musician. What more is there to say? I will listen to "Astigmatic" again, one of the finest European jazz albums of the last five decades.

[@davidgriffith3093]

I only learned of Tomasz Stanko's death today. The music world has a lost a truly great artist. The world has lost a truly gifted artist. He will be deeply missed. One hopes his trumpet playing becomes part of the music of the spheres.

[@pratapantony3357]

A revelation, since this is my first hearing of this music and this musician. Haunting melodies. Truly a great poet of jazz.

[@maramilia]

Gracias por tu música Tomasz! Y gracias por este homenaje del mejor sello del mundo: ECM records.

[@paulfitterer5576]

Thanks for the wonderful music! RIP

[@paulfitterer5576]

Paradigm: Voice from the Past great CD for Tomasz...in good company

[@docnelson2008]

A sad loss. I never got to see him play in person but I have managed to build up a collection of his recordings. He was a fine musician and instantly recognisable. Discovering his music made my aware of other fine Polish players like Marcin Wasilewski . A great musical poet has passed.

[@Wajlonis]

I was fortunate enough to see him live three times. His musical style fit perfectly to obscure, smokey jazz bars and cosy venues - one would think. And despite that, when he played in Gdansk, for 10 odd thousand people or so - with people cheering, shouting, being noisy as usual - he was able to silence this massive, enormous crowd with just one sound with his trumpet. One note. That's all it took to grab thousands of people by their throats and make them listen. Dig up "Solidarity of Arts - Stanko+" on KZbin, you won't regret it.

[@waynedent5287]

There was a sadness in his music yet through it all, he managed hope to shine through! A unique voice has been stilled but lives on in his music!

[@horaciofeinstein306]

@@waynedent5287Yeahh. A sadness kind of Central European Blues or Brazilian samba. It is life and death, both sides of the same coin

I discovered Polish Jazz musicians through Tomasz Stanko. His music enriches us.

[@gismontiestrada6912]

So long ! Your music was beautiful, thank's.

Niezłych, a nawet dobrych jazzmanów mamy wielu, Tomasz Stańko był tylko jeden! RIP [*]

[@janpierzchala2004]

polski komplement...żałosny...Tomasz Stańko nigdy by tak na artystów nie... umknęło ci. Poczytaj jak głęboko w sobie znajdują komplemementy inni tutaj, a ty od razu i wyłącznie do porównania stawki jak w wyścigu. Prymitywne...Nic nie napisałeś o dziele tego wielkiego artysty.. Nie umiesz, nie potrafisz...O światowym artyście piszesz prowincjonalnie.

I saw him live in February in Hannover, Germany. One of his last concerts if not the last.

[@claudiorga3231]

Hermosa obra de arte. Hermosas e inspiradoras imágenes que, invitan a la reflexión en torno a un noble tabaco y un aromático café colombiano. Podría llegar a amar esta hermosa pieza musical, tal como amo a las ya legendarias y míticas obras de los años 70, de la sofisticada mano de ECM.
