Coventry Jazz Festival (Cathedral Ruins Marquee)
in Coventry UK on May 28, 2006
This was an enthralling performance. The quartet's CDs are fine, but in a live performance the tunes are extended in a way that's only possible by a group that have a real empathy and understanding of each other. Marcin Wasilewski was particularly impressive in the way he would take the tune and attack it from different angles, wringing out all the possibilities, while the rhythm section were right there with him, supporting and pushing all the way. Tomasz Stanko is, of course, a master of the trumpet, with an immaculate tone and superb technique.
