Sanda Weigl: Gypsy in a Tree
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Anyone who has lived the myriad lives of the Diaspora as Sanda Weigl has, is qualified to speak for the generations of pain and joy, torture and triumph of human life that has come to pass for her people, and the Gypsies as well. Fleeing the repressive regime of Romania and falling afoul of the even ...
Walter Beltrami: Paroxysmal Postural Vertigo
by Jerry D'Souza
Guitarist Walter Beltrami has good reason for calling this CD Paroxysmal Postural Vertigo. It's a disorder that emanates in the inner ear and results in a spinning sensation caused by changes in body posture. For him, it lasted six months and disappeared as suddenly as it came. Beltrami wrote many of the compositions on this record ...

by Jerry D'Souza
Over the last 10 years, trumpeter Cuong Vu has made an impact as an innovator who filters music through the prism of his imagination. He has been agile enough to fit into bands as diverse as those led by Myra Melford and Pat Metheny, and has also carved a niche for himself as a leader who ...

If this sounds like a somewhat contentious statement, then Gypsy In A Tree--a follow-up to Gypsy Killer (Knitting Factory Works, 2002)--should provide sufficient evidence, in the form of ...
Cuong Vu 4-Tet: Leaps of Faith
by C. Michael Bailey
The order and presentation of music on a recording or in a recital are every bit as important in the music producer's skill set as is choosing what music to include. Had trumpeter Cuong Vu introduced his Vu-Tet's Leaps of Faith with the title piece, or “Child-Like (for Vina)," it would have been easy to dismiss ...
Sanda Weigl: Gypsy in a Tree
by C. Michael Bailey
Romanian singer Sanda Weigl's story is a harrowing one that spans the full length of the Cold War, from pre-Ceausescu Romania to communist East Berlin to West Berlin before arriving most recently in New York City, at a time when many Gotham musicians were investigating Eastern European influences in Western music, making her expertise in Gypsy ...
