Tomasz Ludwik Stańko (11 July 1942 – 29 July 2018) was a Polish trumpeter and composer
In 1962, Tomasz Stańko formed his first band, the Jazz Darings, with saxophonist Janusz Muniak, pianist Adam Makowicz, bassist Jacek Ostaszewski, drummer Wiktor Perelmuter. Inspired by Ornette Coleman and the innovations of John Coltrane, Miles Davis and George Russell, the group is often cited by music historians as the first European group to play free jazz. In his later years, he collaborated with pianist Krzysztof Komeda on Komeda's album Astigmatic, recorded in late 1965. In 1968, Stańko formed a quintet whose members were Janusz Muniak (tenor and soprano saxophones, flute), Zbigniew Seifert (alto sax and violin), Bronisław Suchanek (bass), Janusz Stefański (drums, percussion). In 1975, he formed the Tomasz Stańko-Adam Makowicz Unit.
Stańko established a reputation as a leading figure not only in Polish jazz, but internationally as well, working with musicians including Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, Reggie Workman, Rufus Reid, Lester Bowie, David Murray, Manu Katché and Chico Freeman. From 1984, he was a member of Cecil Taylor's big band.
José Torres (born 19 September 1958, Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban-Polish musician and percussionist.
A graduate of the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music, Torres was a founder of the first Polish salsa orchestra under the name José Torres y Salsa Tropical. From the very beginning of his stay in Poland (except for a period of several years), he has lived in Wrocław. He has a wife Iza and sons Tomasz (drummer for Afromental) and Filip.
