Tomasz Stanko's status as one of the authentic figures of European jazz, one of the great originals, has been secure for decades.'Suspended Night' stretches out in new improvisational terrain following the group's first album together,'Soul of Things'. Where 'Soul of Things' revisited some of Stanko's inspirational jazz roots, and was an "in-the-tradition" recording, 'Suspended Night' encourages the band to stretch out in new improvisational terrain, without forsaking their strong sense for grooves and rhythms. His young compatriots have grown as players individually and as a team in the two years since 'Soul of Things' was recorded.
