По мнению критиков, одна из лучших
пластинок серии, в оригинале аннотация отсутствовала, видимо, все и так все
знали в 1973 году, на недавнем «компактовом» переиздании же была аннотация на
английском, я ее здесь привожу. Подробнее о Томаше Станько можно прочитать на
http://astigmatic.by.ru/stanko.shtml,
кстати сказать, следующий альбом Станько вышел уже на E.C.M.
И еще – у меня оказалось «скачанное»
когда-то интересное интервью, но вот откуда - не помню, потому
приношу извинения за нарушение авторских прав, если кто
подскажет, откуда – сразк же укажу – А.К.

In the
'70-s, the peak years of Tomasz Stanko, his perfect partners were few, but
certainly the Finnish drummer Edward Vesala and Polish tenor-man Tomasz
Szukalski belonged to them. Their cooperation brought such important records
as "Balladyna", "TWET", "Almost Green",
"Live at Remont" or "Satu". These three musicians' mutual
understanding was almost of a metaphysical quality, necessary to be sure, to
play free-jazz. On this disc they are joined by the sensitive and articulate
American bassist, Peter Warren. Cut in 1976, TWET (supposedly an acronym of
musician's initials), is a perfect example of free-jazz attractiveness
potential, so seldom truly realizes. But here it materializes, to the
sensitive listener's satisfaction. Though Stanko's leadership is
unquestioned, he leaves ample space for Szukalski, Vesala and Warren to
stretch their music; not to mention whistle, cowbells and human voices.
"Dark Awakening" grips our imagination from the very start with the
mysteriously oscillating mood, the sounds of bass clarinet... With the first
sounds of trumpet the heterophony of the four instruments fighting for our
attention unfolds.
In the title piece TWET ostinato basses support the convulsive flights of
trumpet but soon bass itself comes to the fore with the series of three-notes
motifs (c, c-sharp, d) crowned by a surprising consonance. The most gentle
and even tender number, "Mintuu Maria" starts with tenor-trumpet
dialogue that gradually gives way to tenor improvisation after which the
trumpet joins again.
Strong drumming and bass figures introduce "Man of the North",
giving way after a while to incoherent heterophony of voices leading to
frenetic saxophone solo over assertive and faster bass walking. Out of the background
to the fore the drums emerge, but the bass figures take over the high above
the trumpet's soaring sounds appear. Another contrast brings "Night
Peace": the chimes of steady basses, tiny bell-sounds and prolongated
sounds of trumpet bring back sleepy saxophone, and they take rest of calm
pulsations of drums and bass.
