Stanko’s quartet shows its mastery of tone colors and sound textures in this 13-minute collective improvisation from the 2006 ECM release Lontano. The piece starts in a free tempo, rich in nuance and indirection, and only at the end coalesces into strict time. For comparison, the CD release also includes the 15-minute “Lontano II” and the 12-minute “Lontano III” – each providing eloquent testimony to the rapport of this outstanding ensemble.
