On behalf of Astigmatic Records, we would like to thank Bronisław Suchanek, the only member of the legendary Tomasz Stańko Quintet, who is still among us – for his substantive contribution and help in the preparation of this album. In addition, we are grateful for the support of the families, heirs and friends of the ensemble musicians: Anna Stańko and Kajetan Prochyra (Tomasz Stańko Foundation), Agnieszka Seifert and Aneta Norek (Zbigniew Seifert Foundation), Ewa Kuncewicz, Julia Stefański, Agata Stefański (co-heirs to Janusz Stefański’s estate). We are also grateful for the help of Adam Domagała and the team of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, without which many things would not have happened in this project. In addition, we would like to thank Henryk Kotowski, Paweł Karpiński, Zbyszek Jędrzejczyk, Liliana Smurawska, Susan Adams, Mats Gustafsson, Marek Karewicz family and Paweł Brodowski, Asia Pieczykolan from Jazz Forum for support with the archives. Last but not least, Ingrid Reincke-Burk from the Radio NDR for all the help with the licensing. Despite our best efforts to contact all the heirs of the artists, we did not manage to reach all of them. Therefore, if anyone feels that their rights have been violated, please contact us in this matter.
