Marcin Wasilewski Trio – Polish Jazz Focus

Wednesday, 9th June, 8pm

The Sage Gateshead

Marcin Wasilewski (piano), Slawomir Kurkiewicz (bass), and Michal Miskiewicz (drums) started playing together as teenagers as the Simple Acoustic Trio and are now known simply as the Marcin Wasilewski Trio. When still teenagers they came to the attention of their compatriot, the great Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko with whom they have played live and recorded as the Tomasz Stanko Quartet. As their own unit, they bring an almost telepathic group dynamic and irresistible rhythmic momentum to the classic jazz piano trio.

Part of the group’s secret is the patient ease with which they intertwine impressionistic music and powerful pulses.... it may not appear to be trying to hit you between the eyes, but in the long run it does that anyway. John Fordham, The Guardian.

Trio jazz of an exquisite sort. Jazz Review
