The Marcin Wasilewski Trio is celebrating their 30th anniversary, and we invite you to be a part of their extraordinary journey. The trio has achieved international recognition for their exceptional talent and ability to captivate audiences, leaving a lasting impression with their powerful and emotionally charged performance with depth and sheer musicality.

For the past three remarkable decades, the Marcin Wasilewski Trio has graced the world of jazz with their extraordinary talent and unwavering commitment to musical excellence, becoming synonymous with innovation and storytelling through their music. Their remarkable journey includes collaborations with jazz luminaries like Tomasz Stanko, Joe Lovano, Charles Lloyd and more, along with the release of seven exceptional albums under the ECM Records label.

In their native Poland, they are unquestionable jazz stars who have maintained a consistent standard of artistry, connecting deeply with audiences and leaving an indelible mark on the global jazz community.

In Poland, Wasilewski is laureate of the largest number of Fryderyk Music Awards in jazz categories (five for Jazz Album of the Year and six for Jazz Artist of the Year). The award can be compared to the American Grammy. 

The Marcin Wasilewski Trio was again voted Best Acoustic Band for 2023 in Poland’s Annual Jazz Forum Magazine's "Jazz Top 2023" Reader’s Poll. "In the category of acoustic bands, the Marcin Wasilewski Trio has remained unrivaled for a considerable period," as stated in Jazz Forum's editorial comment. JFM stands as the oldest and most esteemed Polish jazz publication. The trio consistently reaffirms its leading position in the Polish jazz scene. 

In 2005 and 2011 Marcin Wasilewski was voted “piano rising star” in DownBeat Magazine’s Critics and Readers Polls. Four of the trio’s albums were ranked on Billboard’s Jazz Album Charts. While in Germany, the band was nominated for the German Jazz Award 2022 (Deutscher Jazzpreis) in the Best International Band category. 

Continuing to carry the torch of the Polish jazz tradition from Krzysztof Komeda, through Tomasz Stanko, to the world, the Marcin Wasilewski Trio stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Polish jazz on the global stage.

The tour is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture, National Heritage of the Republic of Poland, in collaboration with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. Co-Presented with the Kosciuszko Foundation.
