The trio’s guest at their opus gig is US sax player Stephen Riley, who played as sideman with such greats as Wynton Marsalis, Norah Jones, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Bobby McFerrin, Joe Henderson, Grover Washington, Joshua Redman, Ryan Kysor, Natalie Cole, Lionel Hampton, Frank Foster, Chris Potter or Ray Charles. So it’s no surprise that he found effortlessly his place in the music of Wyleżoł’s Trio, playing with them regularly.
