Experience Marcin Wasilewski Trio

Marcin Wasilewski Trio is a highly acclaimed Polish modern jazz ensemble formed in 1999, centered around pianist Marcin Wasilewski. Alongside bassist Sławomir Kurkiewicz and drummer Adam Bałdych, the trio has established itself as a leading force in European jazz. Initially gaining recognition through collaborations with trumpeter Tomasz Stańko – notably on albums like *Soul of Things* (2002) – they quickly developed a distinctive sound characterized by lyrical improvisation, atmospheric textures, and a deeply introspective quality.

Their ECM recordings, beginning with *Ravel* (2005), cemented their international reputation. The trio avoids overt virtuosity, prioritizing nuanced interplay and emotional depth. They’ve released critically lauded albums including *Ghosts* (2008), *Faith* (2011), *Evening* (2013) and *Live* (2016), consistently earning accolades from publications like DownBeat and All About Jazz.

Wasilewski’s compositions often draw inspiration from classical music and Polish folk melodies, filtered through a contemporary jazz sensibility.
