Marcin Wasilewski Simple Acoustic Trio is one of the hottest piano trios in Europe. Since the trio was formed in 1993 when they were still teenagers, pianist Wasilewski, bassist Slawomir Kurkiewicz and drummer Michal Miskiewicz have stayed together as a coherent unit. The trio got a huge boost performing and recording with the legendary Polish trumpeter Tomas Stanko, and recently released two successful CDs from the ECM label.
The music of the Simple Acoustic Trio is very European, in a sense that it does not explicitly adheres to the rhythm structures or forms of the traditional, swinging jazz. Their music is at times introspective, lyrical and melodious, but it can be adventurous, explosive and even funky. The emphasis is on spontaneous, collective improvisations, and the results are often unpredictable, exciting and beautiful. Recommended for fans of adventurous, modern piano trio music.
