On September 12, 2024, the Marcin Wasilewski Trio graced Drom in New York City as part of their 30th Anniversary Tour. This tour celebrated three decades of collaboration among pianist Marcin Wasilewski, bassist Sławomir Kurkiewicz, and drummer Michał Miśkiewicz, who have maintained the same lineup since their formation in 1990.

The trio's performance at Drom was particularly significant, as it marked their first appearance at this venue. Their set featured compositions from their latest album, "En attendant," released in 2023. This album showcases the trio's continued evolution, blending original pieces with interpretations of works by composers like Karol Szymanowski and Wayne Shorter. (marcinwasilewskitrio.com)

Critics have lauded the trio for their emotionally rich performances and deep musicality. The Guardian has described them as "one of the best to appear on the European jazz scene in the past decade," and BBC Music Magazine noted, "There's a galaxy of piano trios in today's jazz universe, but few shine as bright as Marcin Wasilewski's."
