Product Description
A mature statement by a still-young Polish band that already has 15 years of playing experience behind it. All group members shine here, with
Marcin Wasilewski again impressive as one of the most outstanding jazz pianists of his generation. The group has already a strong and still-growing
following both in their own right and as members of the Tomasz Stanko Quartet. (Additionally, profiles of pianist Wasilewski and bassist Kurkiewicz have been raised by their membership of the Manu Katché Group). Remarkably broad program of material. Repertoire includes music by Prince, Carla Bley, Gary Peacock, Tomasz Stanko, Ennio Morricone as well as original tunes by Wasilewski. This impressive album, coupled with the tour dates, will catapult this group to the spotlight of
the jazz community.

Awesome! April 18, 2010
Gerald N. Meredith
This music was a recommendation from a audio magazine. I never heard of this trio prior to this. This is awesome piano playing with great accompaniment. This is one of those rare performances I find magical.

Very enjoyable, but needed to listen to this CD with headphones as there were some quiet pieces and any background noise tended to detract from the listening experience.
"Beauty beyond description" September 24, 2009

Some other reviewer commented "beauty beyond description" and all I can do is echo this sentiment. This is a very cohesive recording. One song flows effortlessly into the other but holds your attention. I also find that I just feel better during and after I listen to this record. This is a desert island CD for sure.
Best of 2008: 5 stars August 14, 2009

Definitely one of the my favorite albums of 2008. If you only buy one piano-trio jazz album this year, buy this one. The arrangement of "Diamonds and Pearls" is a master class in jazz and truly beautiful.
Utterly Beautiful July 7, 2009

The first four cuts on January, "The First Touch" (Marcin Wasilewski), "Vignette" (Gary Peacock), "Cinema Paradiso" (Enrico and Andrea Morricone), and "Diamonds and Pearls" (Prince Rogers Nelson--yes, he of the unpronounceable symbol and buttless jeans) form a string of musical pearls that shimmer in the dark with brooding beauty. If those four cuts were the whole release, it would still be recommendable, but there's more, much more. Pianist Wasilewski, bassist Slawomir Kurkiewicz, and drummer Michal Miskiewicz play with great beauty and refinement. This is music that will take your mind and your heart to a beautiful place.
