Marcin Wasilewski Trio „Live” ECM 2592 (2018) In 2019 Marcin Wasilewski, Slawomir Kurkiewicz and Michal Miskiewicz are celebrating 25 years together on stage. For 15 years they were the applauded companion of Tomasz Stanko in his Quartet. As Tomasz Stanko says himself „…in the entire history of Polish jazz, we’ve never had a band like this one. I’m surprised by these musicians every day. They just keep getting better and better”. Marcin Wasilewski was listed in 2015 and 2011 as ”piano rising star” in the DownBeat Annual Intl. Critics Poll. The Trio members have collaborated (as a Trio or separately) with the biggest names in jazz: Charles Lloyd, Al Foster, Branford Marsalis, Jan Garbarek, Joe Lovano, Gianluigi Trovesi, Nils Petter Molvær, John Surman, Louis Sclavis, Arthur Blythe, Bernt Rosengren, Dino Saluzzi, Bobo Stenson, Anders Jormin, Manu Katché, Jon Christensen and more. Their new album (“Live”) was ranked 15th on the Billboard’s Jazz Album Charts two weeks after release. ”Polish pianist Marcin Wasilewski’s trio is one of the best to appear on the European jazz scene in the past decade” - The Guardian „The Marcin Wasilewski Trio is one of the most important acoustic jazz band in Europe"- Dionizy Piątkowski, journalist, critic „… the greatest jazz piano trio the world currently has to offer.” – Peter Jones, London Jazz News “This trio is now one of the finest in jazz, its mutual ease and intuition something to marvel at" - Ray Comiskey, The Irish Times
