Nguyen Le Duos: Homescape
by John Kelman
There's no substitute for a convincing musical concept and language, but if an artist doesn't pay equal attention to tone, then that musical message can become easily diluted. The two are, in fact, inextricably linked--in particular with guitarists, who are often as well-known for the texture of their sound as the notes they play. Guitarist Nguyên ...
Nguyên Lê: Homescape
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il chitarrista franco-vietnamita Nguyên Lê affronta con i due amici Paolo Fresu e Dhafer Youssef una nuova sfida per la quale si da regole piuttosto interessanti che caratterizzano a livello strutturale e produttivo questo Homescape, un titolo decisamente programmatico. L’idea è per l’appunto quella di utilizzare come ‘locus’ creativo lo studio di registrazione domestico del musicista, ...
Nguyen Le Duos: Homescape
by Chris May
Where does jazz stop and world music start? The boundaries are getting more blurred by the minute.

That Lande and McCandless also share a musical friendship that dates back over thirty years makes ...
Nguyen Le Trio: Bakida
by John Kelman
One look at the liner notes to the Nguyên Lê Trio's latest disc and you know that Bakida is not going to be your typical jazz record. While Vietnamese guitarist Lê, who now lives in France, has dabbled in a variety of styles with a penchant towards the fusion side of the camp, his international flavour ...

Nguyen Le: Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix
by Julian Derry
Jimi Hendrix's greatest quality was the way he engaged his audience. The warm powerful tones of his guitar playing, the near- spiritual journeys through new magical lands of guitar wizardry drew the listener in to share in an emotional embrace. Alas, elements of this Hendrix tribute album conspire to make it an impersonal, less earthy experience. ...
