"When music has this quality (sounding new each time), be it composed or improvised, written recently or long ago, in a particular recognizable style or none at all, none of this is of any consequence. The players don't matter, instruments are of no importance, the techniques of playing, the tonality of the piece, the tempo, all are just window dressing. The music is bigger than all these when its purpose is fulfilled. Absolutely, cheers to Stanko for his remarkable achievement. "

About:

Corrosions (korozje) - changes from within caused by external and internal forces.

“To me the most important thing in jazz is improvisation. The role of creativity in the rapid process of creation is equal to the work's duration, the sound associations, acts of choice, philosophy of error. In fact I create codes which allow me to improvise. It is possible because music is an abstract thing and a minute change of tempo results in a completely different phrase. I have my favorite chords and I can change them so that lyricism becomes fury in a matter of a second".." (Tomasz Stanko)

On this record Stanko is joined by another legend of Polish jazz - composer, pianist and trombonist Andrzej Kurylewicz.
