'Their music converts rigid form into glorious freedom in the most sophisticated way.' - Evening Standard

The mutual ease and intuition of Marcin Wasilewski Trio, one of Europe’s finest jazz groups, is something at which to marvel.

These three exceptional young musicians honed their skills working with Poland's iconic trumpet star Tomasz Stańko and have emerged as a potent force at the forefront of contemporary European jazz trios, with a brace of critically acclaimed albums for the renowned ECM marque. Stańko says, 'In the entire history of Polish jazz we've never had a band like this one. They just keep getting better and better.'

Marcin Wasilewski’s feathery touch on piano, combined with slow transitions and subtle interaction between players Michal Miskiewicz (percussion) and Slawomir Kurkiewicz (double bass), creates a bewitching sound – balanced, complex and delicate. Their eclectic repertoire includes music by Prince, Carla Bley, Björk, Gary Peacock, Tomasz Stańko and Ennio Morricone, as well as original compositions by Wasilewski.
