Synopsis

Product Description
Cuong Vu eschews jazz and gives birth to a burning new concept: cutting edge improvisation, deploying subtle electronics with the 20th century compositional sensibility of Charles Ives and Aaron Copland. He eschews predictability but delivers a one-two punch of controlled pop understanding in the title track vocal. He eschews the trumpet yet plays his ass off. This debut album from the hot, young, "downtown" trumpeter/composer on the creative jazz scene is "bound" to become a contemporary milestone of American music.

CD Reviews

This CD Rocks!
Joel Nesby | Houston, TX | 07/28/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In his first album as a leader, Cuong Vu gives us a mix of almost everything any music lover would want. The music is simultaneously challenging but balanced with a catchy-ness to it, avant balanced with familiarity, subtlety balanced with aggression. But most importantly, this album rocks! A new breed of musicians with their new approach is upon us."
