Some new releases come with the word "classic" stamped invisibly on every note or phrase. Soul of Things is just such a recording. Featuring 60-year-old Polish trumpet maestro Stanko in the company of a new, young, yet already well-honed trio of compatriots, this 75-minute, 13-part suite extends and distills the qualities of mellow swing, lyrical introspection, and flaring assertion that distinguish Stanko's previous two ECM releases, the excellent Litania and From the Green Hill. If "Part 3" contains some of the most directly swinging, finger-clicking group music to be released on ECM for many a month, the concluding "Part 13" commences with Stanko solo, in ultra-poetic rubato mode. In between these thematically integrated extremes lie all manner of delights, with the level of interaction between Stanko and Marcin Wasilewski (piano), Slawomir Kurkiewicz (double-bass), and Michal Miskiewicz (drums) at times reminiscent of some of the finest moments of Belonging, the ECM classic of the 1970s with Jarrett, Garbarek, Danielsson, and Christensen. This album shouldn't be missed. --Michael Tucker

5 out of 5 stars thirteen variations of exquisite melody.......2006-11-26

With this ECM-album Stanko has decided to feature the young Polish rhythm section with whom he has played since 1994 - Marcin Wasilewski on piano, Slawomir Kurkiewicz on bass and Michal Miskiewicz on drums. The result is just anmazing.

Even now the band members are still only in their early thirties, but they play together with an ease and understanding of each other that make age irrelevant. They know Stanko's music intimately and their understated playing provides a sympathetic setting for him.

This band's music has a beautiful simplicity and economy about it. When one isolates the contributions of individuals, they can sound sparse and overly impressionistic; when one listens to the totality, all the pieces fit together and it makes perfect sense, with the whole being far greater than the sum of the parts.

The album takes the form of an extended composition in thirteen separate parts ("variations"), the longest lasting only just over eight minutes. The pieces have a consistency of tempo, sound and mood that gives the album an overarching unity. To be fully appreciated, the album needs to be heard in its entirety (but if you need to sample one piece, try "Variation VII"). Stanko's writing throughout is exquisite - full of melody, soul and allusions to past work.

Highly recommended.

1 out of 5 stars Conventional.......2004-06-17

This is pretty conventional music without any harmonic, rhytmic or melodic inventiveness. Good only for background music.

5 out of 5 stars Subtle and Brilliant.......2004-05-02

This is a subtle and brilliant album. There is much more beneath the "Davis influenced" surface. Stanko has his own way of getting you there - and he will get you there if you listen.

3 out of 5 stars A nice "cloudy day" CD.......2003-06-03

This was my first listen to Stanko, and I initially wrote off this CD as another ripoff of the classic 1960's Miles Davis Quintet sound, but without a Wayne Shorter to complicate things. Repeated listenings have revealed Stanko to be a player steeped in Davis melancholy, but with his own things to say and (at times) a fiery way of saying them. His band is respectful to the point of almost sounding afraid to interrupt him. Thoughtful, elegant stylings for those cloudier days - and, in the classic ECM cliché, understated at times to the point of being almost invisible.

2 out of 5 stars It's probably not a good sign..........2002-06-29

...when, in the middle of a solo, the listener starts thinking about the musician's influences-instead of being carried along by the music. With almost every note the pianist played, I was distracted by such thoughts as: Where did I hear that before? Some old Herbie Hancock Blue Note date, maybe? Tomasz Stanko is one of my favorite trumpeters, and it has never occurred to me to think that he sounds like anyone but...himself. Here, I was repeatedly reminded of Miles Davis. This CD has received rave reviews everywhere. I'm puzzled. Am I missing something, or are there really that many people who have a weakness for pretty, conventional, utterly tame music? If you've never heard Stanko before, please don't let this be your introduction; it will give you no idea of just how spectacularly good he is. Stanko has produced at least 4 masterpieces, all of which belong in any serious jazz collection: FROM THE GREEN HILL, BLUISH, LITANIA and LEOSIA. This CD is not in the same league.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to both the life and the work.......2001-08-10

Not having known very much at all about Chopin, I cannot vouch for the accuracy in the Naxos entry in their CD and cassette Biography series; but I can vouch for the enjoyment (NA 421912) afforded me.

Written and produced by Jeremy Siepmann, this audio-bio not only tells the strange story of Chopin's life but also includes generous examples of his music, drawn from the bottomless pit of Naxos musical CDs. An excellent idea was to use actors for the voices of Chopin (Anton Lesser), George Sand and other females in his life (Elaine Claxton and Karen Archer), and other male acquaintances (Neville Jason). It is the kind of reading that would fascinate even if the work were fictional.

His letters are particularly fascinating, especially as they are read dramatically by the small cast; and one would rather hear about all his faults--physical and psychological--from people who knew him well. Perhaps his strange epistolary relationship with his Titus is dwelt upon a bit too much, but such are the times (then and now).

My only criticism in a negative direction is the length of the musical examples. I do not really think the entire "Revolutionary Etude" had to be played or the entire "Funeral March"; a minute or two with a fadeout would have been fine, especially on repeated hearings where one wants the facts. Nevertheless, highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Best Polish Music CD.......2004-06-26

Highly recommended for those interested in hearing music from Poland. These tunes are readily accessible listening and played to perfection by the 1001 Strings. It includes tunes by Chopin, the sweeping National Anthem that is easily one of the best national anthems in the world, plus folk melodies, mazurkas, polonaises and polkas, all fully orchestrated in good digital sound. In many ways and on many tunes I was reminded of Rodgers and Hammerstein, especially their The Sound of Music movie soundtrack. I loved these songs and the CD remains one of my all-time favorite CDs. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music !!.......2001-07-03

Honestly, I bought this CD because of it's low price. The music is majestic, sweeping and beautiful. It's hard to pick a favorite song. I do appreciate the national anthem, since I am over 1/2 Polish and I had never heard it before. Makes me even prouder that I am Polish, hearing some of the beautiful music that has come from that country.

          5 out of 5 stars amazing.......2004-05-17

          I thought it was pretty amazing that music recorded in '60s and '70s sounds like it was made yesterday. First of all names as krzysztof komeda or novi singers are well known in poland but we can see that a lot of people from other countries discovers the music and, suprised by its charm, use it in their own music work. Some music by novi singers has been sampled for example in 'bohemian sunset' by jazzanova (band well known by everybody who listens to 'cafe del mar' compilations or stuff from wagram records) and has been used by skalpel, polish band labeled by ninja tune. I proudly recommend this record to everybody who likes jazz music, it has its own atmosphere, you can exactly hear the crashes form vinyl record and it brings back the spirit of '70s. Personally, I absolutely love this record.

          4 out of 5 stars definately not commercial - rather for connoisseurs.......2000-02-17

          it is a compilation focusing on polish jazz dating from the 60's & the 70's. the compilation contains works of such artists as: zbigniew namyslowski, novi singers, jan milan, krzysztof komeda. these are the names which are probably known to those who are strongly interested in european jazz, otherwise i suppose these are "no-names"-brandmarks for a usual listener. polish jazz has one of the oldest traditions in this music genre. interesting is the fact that this tradition was respected and at the same time neglected in europe. well... i am not here to lecture about the jazz music. it is nice-to-have record but not a must. surely you will listen with amazement to some of the tracks (e.g. "my own revolution" by novi singers, or "why not samba" by w. karolak), for some of them could be really hits on tha dancefloor. not commercial music, but still with a lot of power. the boys from jazzanova seem to have a lot of melancholy for these 60ies & 70ies fever. :o). thanks a lot for wiping up the dust.
