Beautiful Jazz Played Strangely Beautifully
In this age of super musicians playing super humanly and writing songs designed to show us mortal just how superly they can play, comes The Thomas Stanko Quartet! This quartet plays incredibly beautiful jazz as if they have nothing to prove. Suspended Night reminds us that at the bottom line, it is about the music after all. Superior musicianship which carries the day by being musical. Michael Miskiewicz is one of today's most musical drummers! His service to the music which surrounds him champions the idea that the drums are a musical instrument as much as the piano, bass, or any other instrument upon which a melody can be played. The entire band proves that you don't have to be loud in order to convey powerful emotion (listen to Suspended Variations III in which the left hand bass part on the piano serves as hero of the day). It has been said that this band plays as one mind and I who have just discovered Thomas Stanko's Quartet can wholeheartedly testify to that statement. Much can be written about the technical mastery of The Thomas Stanko Quartet but I believe much more can be gained by grabbing your favorite beverage (coffee, tea, brandy, cognac, etc.) with which to relax, lower the lights and just sit back to listen. Suspended Night is a master class in jazz chords,arrangement, and progression but for me....well, I just like the way it makes me feel! Strangely beautiful jazz played beautifully!
Most satisfyingly different
I find it most reassuring to discover that new music of this quality is being created. I have not heard a piece of music so different and so satisfying for a long time, if ever. To listen to this music is to be transported ..... into a suspended night.
Suspended grace
Never too fast, without a steady rithm, this music is perfect for a lovely night under a full moon
Very passionate
