Cuong Vu/Pat Metheny: Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny
by Karl Ackermann
Vietnamese trumpeter Cuong Vu has been a frequent Pat Metheny collaborator dating back to the guitarist's Speaking Of Now (Warner Bros., 2002). It has taken well over a decade for Vu to flip the table, putting Metheny in a role he is seldom seen in, that of a sideman. In fact, across almost fifty albums, the ...
Cuong Vu Trio With Pat Metheny: Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny
by Dan McClenaghan
One of the most distinctive jazz sounds to have appeared this millennium has been shaped by Cuong Vu. Beginning with his It's Mostly Residual (ArtistShare, 2005) through Vu-Tet (ArtistShare, 2007) and into Leaps of Faith, (Origin Records 2011), the modernistic and often plugged-in trumpeter has crafted an assault of sound: a thick, sludgy, glow-in-the-dark, pugnaciously percussive ...
Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny
by Dave Wayne
A good chunk of the jazz-consuming public first became aware of Cuong Vu's virtuoso trumpet playing via his work with the Pat Metheny Group during the 2000s. For those of us already familiar with Vu's work, the move seemed a bit out-of-character, as the young trumpeter was a prominent player in the hyper-adventurous downtown NYC scene ...

Cuong Vu Trio With Pat Metheny: Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny
by Mark Sullivan
When trumpeter/composer Cuong Vu became a member of the Pat Metheny Group--he contributed to Speaking Of Now (Warner Bros., 2002) and The Way Up (Nonesuch, 2005)--it came as a bit of a shock to anyone familiar with his work in the downtown New York City scene. While Pat Metheny has made music that fits in with ...
Cuong Vu Trio With Pat Metheny: Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny
by Dan Bilawsky
There's a bit of a role reversal going on with this one. Trumpeter Cuong Vu--a Pat Metheny devotee from the time he first heard the guitarist's Travels (ECM, 1983) as a teenager--eventually came to join the Pat Metheny Group, enhancing the sound of the band on a pair of Grammy-winning albums: Speaking Of Now (Warner Bros. ...
Andy Manndorff: Dirt & Soil
by Vincenzo Roggero
Il nome di Andy Manndorff potrebbe risultare ai più sconosciuto ed anche in Austria, dove risiede, non ha mai raggiunto la notorietà che il talento e le importanti collaborazioni (la prestigiosa Vienna Art Orchestra e il pianista olandese Jasper van't Hof tra gli altri), avrebbero meritato. Il motivo? Difficile individuare una sola causa ma certamente lo ...
Jessica Jones Quartet: Moxie
by Dan Bilawsky
Moxie is both an extension of tenor saxophonist Jessica Jones' previous work and a glimpse back to an earlier point in her career: she continues to explore the possibilities inherent in a piano-less quartet with a two-tenor front line while reuniting with a rhythm duo that she worked with in the '80s--bassist Stomu Takeishi and drummer ...
