Since 2005, he has led his own Yarosh Organ Trio, which he co-founded with Tomasz Pruchnicki (saxophone) and Kajetan Galas (Hammond B3 organ). The group debuted with an album recording in 2016, and their next release, recorded with vocalist Katarzyna Mirowska (Alterakcje), appeared in 2018. The release of another album, recorded with pianist Dominik Wania, was planned for spring 2021.
