_______________________________________________________________________
Exploring the vast space between jazz composition and free
improvisation, Saft / Vu develops structures built of dark
shadow and jagged plateau, constantly redefining their own
musical language. Pianist Jamie Saft and trumpeter Cuong Vu
have recently drawn attention for their contributions to
Bobby Previte's Too Close To The Pole. They've studied with
microtonal master Joe Maneri at the New England Conservatory,
and Vu has also recorded with Orange Then Blue and Dave
Douglas. They're joined by reedman Andrew D' Angelo (also
from Previte band) and formidable percussionist Jim Black (of
Tim Berne's Bloodcount, Dave Douglas Tiny Bell Trio, Ellery
Eskelin Trio). A very impressive debut. -DMG 1997
This disc is slammin'! If you like improvised music, you'll
dig this. Highly recommended! - maxalbums.com
