EuroNordic piano trio does it well October 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
More Nordic Trio ivory tinkling? Well, yes and no. While in that style, there is a lot of variation and skill in this album and while the rhythm section is a little muted - more Todd Gustavsson than EST - this is well worth a listen. EST do it better in my opinion because they are so unpredictably unpredictable but this is a very worthy runner-up and gets a lot of listening on long train journeys.
haunting stuff May 8, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
superb contemporary jazz - also catch them live if you can. I did at Leeds Fuse festival this weekend - It gives you a better chance to hear their expansive creativity. However as a second best this is great!

An early review of this by me wasn't posted and I'm surprised that no one else was moved to pay tribute to what should prove to be one of the finest jazz recordings of the year.Fans of Tomasz Stanko's most recent albums will have noticed that the master has found a youthful group of soul mates in Wasilewski, Misckiewicz and Kurkiewicz of the highest order. They are not overshadowed by their leader's presence and live are just as compelling as Stanko himself. Now with the matter of factly-titled "Trio" the young Polish, well, trio have shown themselves to be first rate composers and interpreters of their own accord. While the majority of the tracks are original compositions, the covers reveal a width of inspiration, from Polish composer Karol Symanowski's "Roxana's Song" to Wayne Shorter's "Plaza Real" to an actual Stanko composition. However, for me the standout track is the second song, Bjork's "Hyperballad". It is breathtakingly beautiful - the percussion incredibly atmospheric as the piano shifts in out of the the memorable melody. The clarity of the sound should astound were one not so used to ECM's incomparable production standards and the quality of the music should make the Trio as well-regarded and renowned as the Tord Gustavsen Trio or the Esbjorn Svensson Trio.
