Torben Waldorff: Afterburn
by Michael P. Gladstone
For his sophomore effort, Danish guitarist/composer Torben Waldorff unleashes a strong album which gives his listeners more of the same and then some. Waldorff, who is now based out of Malmo, Sweden, had previously enjoyed a well-received album of a live performance, Brilliance (ArtistShare, 2007). On this studio-made album, Waldorff stays with the same formula but ...

by Troy Collins
Danish guitarist Torben Waldorff follows up his Artist Share debut, Brilliance: Live at the 55 Bar (2006) with Afterburn, a studio session featuring the same core group of New Yorkers featured on his previous release.

Cuong Vu: Vu-Tet
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questo nuovo lavoro del trombettista Cuong Vu parte in maniera decisamente misteriosa, con i timbri scuri e l’incedere lento, con il piglio della navigazione solitaria. Un viaggio sospeso dentro ad un B Movie di fantascienza ambientato nei territori polverosi di un pianeta bluastro che non è stato ancora scoperto. Al centro della scena sta l’elettronica con ...
Torben Waldorff: Afterburn
by Eyal Hareuveni
Danish guitarist/composer Torben Waldorff's fourth release, Afterburn, manages to unite European sensibilities with American post-bop vibes. Throughout this impressive recording Waldorff--now based in Malmo, Sweden--delivers sophisticated harmonies and an elaborate compositional architecture with a distinctive guitar sound owing more to Metheny, circa his ECM days of more than twenty years ago, than to Scofield. But Waldorff ...
Cuong Vu: Vu-tet
by Budd Kopman
One way to gauge the strength of a jazz player, especially one who also composes, is to be able identify his or her vision regardless of the changes that occur in the output over time. Does he or she have an attitude, a voice, or a musical message that draws one in, possibly challenging assumptions along ...
Torben Waldorff: Afterburn
by Dan McClenaghan
Guitarist Torben Waldorff really knows how to put a band together. The first impression on hearing his previous effort, Brilliance (ArtistShare, 2007), was that his group had a great collective sound. There was a lot of fine soloing, to be sure--from saxophonist Donny McCaslin and Waldorff--but it was the group atmosphere, simmering and always a bit ...
Torben Waldorff: Afterburn
by Mark F. Turner
Jazz guitarists are oft-times forgotten in this post-Metheny/post-Scofield era. But there are many rising stars such as Lage Lund , Miles Okazaki and Mike Moreno who are poised to carry the flame even farther. Torben Waldorff is another torch-bearer whose Afterburn pinpoints his growing abilities. This is his second ArtistShare release, following 2006's ...

by George Kanzler
Recorded in Boston with students and faculty of both the Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory in the band, this suite by Danilo Perez commemorates five years of the Panama Jazz Festival, where it was also first sold this January. The CD is short, presenting only the quarter-hour suite, described as “a three-movement ...
Cuong Vu: Vu-tet
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
It's a funny sensation of displacement, the “Vu effect." One moment, you're embraced by a warm and almost New Age-y sense of wholeness. This is the case of leader Cuong Vu's airy, ethereal trumpet playing on “Intro" or “Now I Know." In the same vein, bassist Stomu Takeishi borrows liberally from Jaco Pastorious' trick bag (e.g. ...
Cuong Vu: Vu-Tet
by Jerry D'Souza
Cuong Vu has long established his reputation as an adventurous musician who takes his compositions and his trumpet playing into constantly evolving worlds. His is a constant forging of the new and different, traits that he wraps in thought-provoking schematic concepts that include jazz, rock and whatever else that grabs his fancy, as long as it ...
