Description
Celebrating the release of their latest ECM album, "January", the Marcin Wasilewski Trio returns to Birdland sans their great friend and mentor, Tomasz Stanko. It was through Stanko's 2001 recording, "Soul of Things", that the wider world first had a hint of the capacity of this piano, double-bass, drum trio. "In the entire history of Polish jazz we've never had a band like this one. They just keep getting better and better" (Tomasz Stanko). "January" nods to some of the greatest modern composers: Gary Peacock, Carla Bley, Keith Jarrett, Paul Bley, and even Prince. Dancing between graceful, graspable improvisation and tasteful athleticism, the Marcin Wasilewski Trio illustrates the bright future of jazz.
