THE WIRE, October 1997
Andy Hamilton
"Tomasz Stanko was a key figure in Komeda's music from 1963 onwards. His broad, rough, flared tone, with flurries shooting into the upper register, finds its origins in Miles Davis, but became more extrovert — developing into the most distinctive and easily identifiable trumpet sound in today's jazz (...) Litania is a magnificent tribute that yields more on repealed listening A beautifully-crafted labour of love."
JAZZ JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL, March 1998
Michael Tucker
" This is one of the very finest releases of recent years, by any group and on any record label. Subtitled 'Music of Krzysztof Komeda' it pays loving, beautifully packaged tribute to the late Polish pianist and composer whose work of the 1960s did much to establish a hauntingly lyrical European mood in (predominantly modal) modern jazz. (...) Music to cry to, and an absolutely indispensable release."
