Amazon album description:
Pianist Marcin Wasilewski, bassist Slawomir Kurkie-wicz and drummer Michal Miskiewicz have already featured on two of the most highly acclaimed jazz albums of recent years, Tomasz Stanko's 'Soul of Things' and 'Suspended Night'. Stanko's young musicians have been praised by critics around the globe.

In their native Poland, the trio - still all under 30 - have been recognised as players of strong identity and originality for over a decade. They formed the Simple Acoustic Trio in 1994 while in their teens. Their debut album was made the following year, further albums following on small Polish labels.

Now, with an album called just 'Trio', they delineate their group concept for the international audience. This beautiful disc comprised largely of ballads covers an extraordinary range of source material. The trio plays pieces by Björk and Wayne Shorter, as well as a song from Symanowski's opera "King Roger" - all of which fits seamlessly alongside their own compositions, music by pianist Wasilewski, group compositions and free pieces. The repertoire holds together perfectly and seems organic, natural as breathing.

Recorded at Oslo's Rainbow Studio, 'Trio' will likely come to be regarded as an ECM classic. Though the trio is a very evenly-matched unit, Marcin Wasilewski has been singled out by many commentators as an important player for the future, frequently compared with a young Keith Jarrett, a young Chick Corea, a young Herbie Hancock. He has a very rigorous melodic sense, his lines sing clearly, and his voicings are rich and evocative. Kurkiewicz and Miskiewicz keep the music buoyant, and the 'Slavic' atmosphere is balanced by a youthful energy and freshness.

The Guardian, (John Fordham), January 25, 2008
(4 stars) Part of the group's secret is the patient ease with which they intertwine impressionistic music and powerful pulses.

The Times, (John Bungey), March 8, 2008
(4 stars) There's lovely take on Prince's Diamonds and Pearls. Morricone's Cinema Paradiso is also elegantly re-invented...low-key beauty abounds.

Both releases include adiochecker logs and scans.
