Cuong Vu: Vu-Tet
by John Kelman
On Vu-Tet, his follow-up to It's Mostly Residual (ArtistShare, 2005), trumpeter Cuong Vu continues to mine similar turf, ranging from the deeply lyrical to the aggressively hardcore. But with considerable touring under the belt of his regular working trio, featuring bassist Stomu Takeishi and drummer Ted Poor--with and without Vu-Tet's guest saxophonist/clarinetist Chris Speed--there's an emerging ...

Cuong Vu: It's Mostly Residual
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Cuong Vu's trademark as a composer is gradually building tunes that intensify toward the middle and include elements of free jazz and jazz-rock. The key is to have a band that can pull off the demands of such superficially simple yet ultimately complex music. Having the right players makes Vu's It's Mostly Residual a success.
Cuong Vu: It's Mostly Residual
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il jazzista, quando si confronta con l'elettronica, è un po' come un bambino nella stanza dei balocchi. Sperimenta, gioca, si diverte, con l'ovvio rischio di girare anche a vuoto, senza una direzione precisa. I bambini nella stanza dei balocchi sono, nella circostanza, Cuong Vu e Bill Frisell.

Cuong Vu: This This and That
by John Kelman
When Vietnamese-born/American-raised trumpeter Cuong Vu was recruited by the Pat Metheny Group in 2001, Vu was a complete unknown to most fans of the guitar icon. In truth, however, Vu had already been quite active. Since moving to New York in 1994, Vu has become an increasingly visible presence on the downtown New York scene, working ...
Cuong Vu: More Power in a Collective
by Paul Olson
No one sounds like Cuong Vu.Other musicians play trumpet in an effects-laden, rock-inflected environment, but a Cuong Vu album is immediately recognizable. Vu's music couples his trademark airy, bucolic melodies with a deep, churning density of sound and plenty of free improvisation. I spoke with Vu about his fantastic new CD It's Mostly Residual--his ...
