JazzKLUB / Tomasz Stańko Experience / The energy Stańko sought

Initially, the project’s existence was only momentary. In 2015, Tomasz Stańko gathered the Scandinavian and Polish musicians in Copenhagen for the Summer Session master’s workshop. The energy – which Stańko was so intent on finding in young artists – was so good that, in February 2016, the group, under the name Tomasz Stańko Experience, gave three concerts in Denmark. Back then already, the Polish trumpeter’s mentees were no schoolkids any more – after all, the master had his requirements. Today, however, dozens of recordings and hundreds of concerts away from those gigs, they are in a completely different position. And although Stańko had his influence on every one of them, regardless of the instrument, unavoidably, the central place belongs to the trumpeter, Tomasz Dąbrowski, whose relationship with the master was exceptional. In his bands, he channels Stańko’s spirit – the message of individualism, courage, and constant change. Tomasz Gregorczyk Concert duration: approximately 90 minutes
