“ARCTIC RIFF” NEW ALBUM with Joe Lovano

“Arctic Riff” – New album by Marcin Wasilewski Trio and Joe Lovano will be released on June 26, 2020.

The new album of Marcin Wasilewski Trio entitled “Arctiff Riff” recorded for the ECM Records will be released on June 26, 2020, and is available for pre-order today: https://UmusicPL.lnk.to/MarcinWasilewskiTrioArcticRiff and „Vashkar” is available in digital version.

The first-time teaming of Poland’s dynamic Marcin Wasilewski Trio and big-toned US tenorist Joe Lovano brings forth special music of concentrated, deep feeling, in which lyricism and strength seem ideally balanced. The alliance plays four new tunes by Marcin and one by Joe, as well as Carla Bley’s classic “Vashkar” (in two variations), plus collective improvisations with strong input from all four players; Slawomir Kurkiewicz’s bass skills are particularly well deployed in the spontaneous piece “Arco”. Joe will be joining the Polish trio for a number of selected concerts, which will be announced soon on www.ecmrecords.com,  www.marcinwasilewskitrio.com and www.facebook.com/marcinwasilewskitrio.official/.

“Arctic Riff” was recorded at France’s Studio La Buissonne in August 2019, and produced by Manfred Eicher and will be available on CD, digital. LP version is under preparation.
