An essential document of European jazz in the 1970s, and a recording that still sounds magnificent today,Balladyna exerted an enduring influence on successive generations of improvising musicians in Poland andFinland above all, though it also cast its spell more widely. As Tomasz Stanko once said, My international namewas built on Balladyna. The quartet explores the seven originals on the album with a strong sense of rhythmicpropulsion and melodic curiosity throughout. Recorded at Tonstudio Bauer in 1975, Balladyna was produced byManfred Eicher. (ECM Luminessence Series)
