Sidney Hauser: Justice and Jubilation
by Paul Rauch
The hiring of young saxophonist Sidney Hauser, to fill the second alto saxophone chair with the prestigious Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra may seem like a musical sidenote to the history of this 17 piece ensemble that was formed in 1995. But considering the marginalization of women instrumentalists in jazz over the course of the genre's history, ...
Carmen Rothwell: The Art of Intuition
by Paul Rauch
Seattle, a city synonymous with alternative rock, has long sustained a provincial jazz culture, without a signature sound, but with an openness to innovative, progressive invention. To outside jazz partisans, the city is known for phenomenal high school talent that usually flies the coop, heading east for conservatory training and to pursue professional ambitions.
Cuong Vu: Ballet: The Music Of Michael Gibbs
by Nicola Negri
Cuong Vu si muove da sempre in una dimensione stilistica misteriosa, che trae ispirazione tanto dalla tradizione del jazz--non è raro ascoltarlo in concerto rivisitare a suo modo gli standard più classici--quanto dalle correnti più avventurose della downtown scene newyorchese, in cui ha mosso i primi passi a metà anni novanta. Questa capacità di confrontarsi con ...
Cuong Vu: Ballet: The Music Of Michael Gibbs
by C. Michael Bailey
Having recently immersed myself in Miles Davis' In a Silent Way (Columbia, 1969) and Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1969), the journey to the music on trumpeter Cuong Vu's Ballet (The Music of Michael Gibbs) is a necessarily short one. Davis had been working up to his “Freedom Principle" throughout his recordings with is second great quintet, featuring ...
Jerome Sabbagh, Simon Jermyn, Allison Miller: Lean
by Vincenzo Roggero
Jerome Sabbagh fa parte di quella folta schiera di musicisti non usi alle luci dei riflettori mediatici o alle prime pagine, ma particolarmente stimati dai colleghi (non a caso Paul Motian lo volle fortemente nel nuovo trio messo in piedi poco prima della sua scomparsa). Se il suo biglietto da visita come leader è il quartetto ...
Tyrant Lizard: Tyrant Lizard
by Paul Rauch
Tyrant Lizard is a trio that evolved from the Improvised Music Project at the University of Washington in Seattle, a program that exists as both an artistic movement and registered student organization led by eclectic modernist trumpeter and composer, Cuong Vu. Each of the three musicians are truly original voices of their respective craft, featuring trumpeter ...

Tom Collier: Impulsive Illuminations
by Dan McClenaghan
Vibraphonist Tom Collier offers up something quite different from his previous Origin Records CDs, where he covered the jazz standards like John Coltrane's “Giant Steps; Miles Davis' “So What," and some seemingly unlikely pop hits: The Rolling Stones “What a Shame" and Brian Wilson's “God Only Knows," alongside his own always engaging compositions. With Impulsive Illuminations, ...
Cuong Vu Trio: Meets Pat Metheny
by Luca Muchetti
Vien quasi da sorridere. Il nuovo album sulla cui copertina spicca il nome di Pat Metheny è intitolato semplicemente Cuong Vu Trio meets Pat Metheny. E il motivo del mezzo sorriso che si stampa sul volto è duplice: non solo i cultori del chitarrista del Missouri sapranno bene che Cuong Vu è il trombettista che da ...
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 ...
