About this event
“One of the best [trios] to appear on the European jazz scene in the past decade.”-The Guardian
“His [Wasilewski] sense of musical space and his aural imagery are so fresh they are initially mysterious, then get more so.” - JazzTimes
The Marcin Wasilewski Trio is an internationally recognized Polish jazz trio that has performed together as a band for over 22 years. It’s a distinctive, yet accessible group that strikes a fine balance of tradition and contemporary influences, demonstrating the global language and continuity of jazz music with nuance.
A Polish pianist/composer of cinematic and profoundly melodic originals, (and long time collaborator with Tomasz Stanko), ECM artist Wasilewski’s superb off-book explorations reinforce his “growing reputation as a visionary improviser” (All About Jazz). Daring re-workings of Herbie Hancock, Ennio Morricone, The Police, and legendary Polish pianist and film music composer Krzysztof Komeda (Rosemary’s Baby) beautifully frame his Keith Jarrett influenced lyricism alongside the spacious and deeply engaged rhythm section of bassist Slawomir Kurkiewicz and drummer Michal Miskiewicz.
