THE ANNUAL JAZZ FORUM JAZZ TOP 2021 - READERS' POLL. TRIO WINS IN THREE CATEGORIES: THE BEST ACOUSTIC BAND, ALBUM AND CONCERT!
Marcin Wasilewski Trio wins in three very important categories in the Annual JAZZ FORUM JAZZ TOP 2021 Readers' Poll.
Jazz Forum is the longest-running jazz magazine in Poland and one of the oldest jazz magazines in the world. It has been published continuously since 1965.
Perhaps the greatest beneficiary of this year's poll is the triple winner - Marcin Wasilewski Trio (Wasilewski, Sławomir Kurkiewicz, Michał Miśkiewicz). One of the longest working Polish jazz groups (with an unchanged line-up!) won once again as the Acoustic Band of the Year. "En Attendant" was recognized as the Album of the Year - this is the seventh MWT album released by the ECM Records, not counting four recorded with Tomasz Stańko, and the Concert of the Year - the European tour of the Marcin Wasilewski Trio & Joe Lovano, promoting both "En Attendant" and previously released "Arctic Riff".
