On the heels of his acclaimed 2016 recording, Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny (Nonesuch Records), and his 2014 collaboration with electro – acoustic pianist – composer and Director of the School of Music at the University of Washington Richard Karpen on their Ellington – Strayhorn tribute That The Days Go By And Never Come Again (RareNoise Records), trumpeter – composer Cuong Vu joins forces with guest guitarist Bill Frisell on Ballet, a tribute to renowned composer arranger Michael Gibbs. Regarding this exhilarating Vu 4Tet project, Vu says, ‘This was a very collective/equal opportunity effort, so we just played and dealt with the cards collectively as they were dealt. I think it just comes down to the collection of players and our individual aesthetics coming together and trying to find a common goal/language.’ They succeed in triumphant fashion on Ballet, the second collaboration between Cuong Vu and Bill Frisell (their first was Vu’s 2005 ArtistShare album Mostly Residual). 1et 2ings And Things 3 Comedy 4 On The Third Day 5t Rain
