About
"There's a galaxy of piano trios in today's jazz universe," the BBC Music Magazine has noted, "but few shine as bright as Marcin Wasilewski's". On its seventh ECM album the multifaceted Polish group illuminates a characteristically wide span of music.
On 'En attendant', collectively created pieces are juxtaposed with Wasilewski's malleable "Glimmer of Hope", Carla Bley's timeless "Vashkar", The Doors' hypnotic "Riders On The Storm" and a selection from Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations. Fluidity is the hallmark , allied to the deep listening made possible by more than a quarter-century of collaborative music-making by pianist Wasilewski, bassist Kurkiewicz and drummer Miskiewicz.
'En attendant' was recorded at Studios La Buissonne in the South of France in August 2019, and produced by Manfred Eicher.

‘In Motion (Part 1)’ opens En Attendant, their sixth album for the label, and it’s typical of the effervescently open-ended lyricism, ear-massaging sonority and organic, intuitive dialogue at the heart of the trio’s collective aesthetic. While '(Part 1)' shifts between flamenco-ish Chick Corea-like and abstract impressionist episodes, ‘In Motion (Part II)’ includes moments of key influence Keith Jarrett’s rapturous approach as does Wasilewski’s sumptuously song-like composition ‘Glimmer of Hope’
