MARCIN WASILEWSKI TRIO

Het Marcin Wasilewski Trio is het Tomasz Stanko Quartet (op 8 mei 2009 in het Bimhuis), maar dan zonder de trompettist, die vol lof over dit trio spreekt: ‘In the entire history of Polish jazz we’ve never had a band like this one. They just keep getting better and better.’ Stanko nam met hen zijn ECM-albums The Soul of Things, Suspended Night en Lontano op. Zelf bracht het trio onlangs hun tweede ECM-album uit, getiteld January. ‘Part of the group’s secret is the patient ease with which they intertwine impressionistic music and powerful pulses, and here Wasilewski’s strong originals once again give much of the set its backbone.’ (The Guardian).
