Scandinavian Art Ensemble with Tomasz Stanko - The Copenhagen Session Vol. 2

Following the success of The Copenhagen Session Vol. 1, hailed by critics worldwide as a vital rediscovery of the late Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stańko, Scandinavian Art Ensemble now presents the second and final chapter: The Copenhagen Session Vol. 2.

For years, whispers circulated through the jazz scenes of Denmark and Poland - rumors of a lost recording session featuring Stańko alongside a group of Scandinavian and Polish musicians. Nearly a decade after the session and seven years after his passing, these long-awaited recordings have finally emerged, capturing a master musician at his most open and adventurous.

The release of Volume 1 earlier this year drew glowing reviews from across the globe. Jazzwise (UK) praised how “Stańko retains his sound identity and individuality of approach,” while All About Jazz (USA) noted that the set “illustrates his hallmark willingness to challenge himself by finding much younger musicians who could bring out new nuances of his playing.” Citizen Jazz (FR) admired “a precise art of the essential,” celebrating the music’s coherence despite its variety.
