Stanko certainly knows his way around a trumpet and coaxes amazing textures I can't remember hearing from the instrument. But it's the drummer, with his cracklely sounds, and the bass player, with his deep gravelly tones, that make the record for me. The cd is pretty slow-paced and melancholy. Though not pure overboard free jazz - it does have strong themes - the recording is highly improvisational. Don't expect any catchy beats or melodies. Nevertheless, I can see why the Penguin jazz guide gave four stars and a crown; it's quite creative and a fascinating if challenging listen.
