Jazz on 3 - Tomasz Stanko at the London Jazz Festival

Jez Nelson presents Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko recorded in concert at the 2009 London Jazz Festival. Known for his explorative forays into everything from folk to free jazz, here Stanko presents his new quintet. Expect a subtly different sound world, with bold drum rhythms and electric bass alongside Stanko's haunting and mysterious trumpet tones. Plus a solo session from pioneering percussionist Lukas Ligeti. The son of the modernist composer Gyorgy Ligeti, he creates a similar richness of rhythms and textures of sound in his work. In this solo session on the electronic marimba, Lukas fuses traditional African sounds with a modern, edgy mix of western compositional styles.
