Marcin Wasilewski Trio – En Attendant

"There is a galaxy of piano trios in today's jazz universe," BBC Music Magazine has noted, "but few shine as brightly as Marcin Wasilewski's." On their seventh ECM album, the versatile Polish group illuminates a characteristically wide spectrum of music. On "En Attendant," collectively crafted pieces sit alongside Wasilewski's malleable "Glimmer of Hope," Carla Bley's timeless "Vashkar," the mesmerizing The Doors classic "Riders On The Storm" and a foray into Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations. Fluid interplay is the hallmark of this trio, whose more than a quarter-century of working together has led to an almost telepathically deep understanding between Wasilewski, bassist Kurkiewicz and drummer Miskiewicz. "En Attendant" was recorded in August 2019 at La Buissonne Studios in the South of France and produced by Manfred Eicher.
