Tomasz Stańko is a Jazz trumpeter and composer, one of Europe's most revered jazz musicians. He was born on 11th July 1942, and died on 29th July 2018. As a jazz trumpeter and composer, Stańko is one of Europe's most original jazz musicians. Stańko's strengths include his distinct tone, a mood in his music often compared to the late 1950s Miles Davis' sound, with a Polish (Slavic) melancholy, which has developed into his trademark characteristic sound. Stańkoʼs standing in Polish jazz is impossible to overestimate. He has spent his entire career as a professional jazz trumpeter, and most of that was at a time when Poland was behind the Iron Curtain, making it difficult for outsiders to follow his career. In the the late 20th and early 21st century, Stańko has recorded with an ECM German label, bringing him long overdue international recognition as one of the great individual voices in jazz. He has recorded around forty albums and composed music for several dozen films and the theatre.
