	Cuong Vu
		Vu is capable of some intense, headlong improvisation, as is clear on the aptly titled "Expressions of a Neurotic Impulse" and "Brittle, Like Twigs," but his real strength is the extended, gorgeous lines that he unspools on the other cuts.
		It's Mostly Residual is a sonic record, to date, of trumpeter Cuong Vu's musical trip through life — a life conceptualized as dense urbanized noise-scapes[...]intercut with advancing and receding episodes of pastoral calm.
		Vu's music is a living residue of journeys taken and journeys returned from, in sound.

		Vu Dinh Huynh, at one point personal secretary to Ho Chi Minh (President of North Vietnam, 1945-1969) and later Head of the Protocol Department in the Foreign Ministry in Hanoi.
		Vu Dinh Huynh was arrested in 1967 together with dozens of other high-ranking officials in the government and Communist Party of Vietnam and underwent nearly a decade of imprisonment in the jails of North Vietnam.
		Vu Thu Hien, who was trained as a movie director in the Soviet Union in the early sixties and therefore spoke and wrote fluent Russian, was also arrested because he was suspected of being one of the main links to the Soviets.

		Cuong Vu Considered to be "one of the most distinctive stylists on New York's Downtown music scene" (Downbeat, March 1998), Cuong Vu has been garnering rave reviews as one of the leaders of a new generation of innovative musicians.
		Cuong began playing the trumpet at the age of 11, five years after emigrating to Seattle, WA from Vietnam.
		In addition to Maneri, Cuong was also influenced by the contemporary classical music he encountered at NEC from which he found new forms and textures to apply to his playing and writing.

	Straight.com Vancouver \| Offbeat \| Cuong Vuâs tunes tell tales
		Vu was the slight figure on the riser at the back of the stage, contributing majestic trumpet lines, warm vocal harmonies, and touches of keyboard and percussion to the popular guitaristâs near-symphonic ensemble sound.
		Vu has been part of Methenyâs band for four years now, and thanks to his appearances on best-selling discs such as Speaking of Now and The Way Up heâs entertained a lot of ears that are not normally open to the musical avant-garde.
		With Vu and Takeishi both using looping technology to flesh out their sound, theyâll have little difficulty filling any holes Frisellâs absence might createâ”and in any case, the trumpeter and his accompanists have found the kind of chemistry that can survive the addition or subtraction of additional forces.

		Cuong Vu has been garnering rave reviews as one of the leaders of a new generation of innovative musicians.
		While at NEC, Cuong was greatly influenced by saxophonist Joe Maneri who led him to search for his own sound that not only emphasized originality but also pushed the established sonority and role of the trumpet into areas that he hadn1t explored.
		Cuong has recently wrapped up recording with the Pat Metheny Group for their new CD, set to be released in early 2005.

		Cuong Vu, is really kind of a unique force -- supremely gifted, a wonderful horn player, adventurous, experimental and not nearly as accessible to the general public as Botti.
		Cuong Vu, on the other hand, has something unique and totally original with "Bound." I have never heard the trumpet this way before.
		Cuong Vu on the other hand is exploring new realms with his instrument and not using a bunch of smooth jazz cliches and mega superstars to promote his career.Botti is an imitator and vu is an innovator.

		Vietnamese-born trumpeter Vu displays a modern progressive aesthetic in his music that points to many influences in jazz, 20th century contemporary, and even pop music.
		The clarity of Vu's sound is astonishing, and this band may be bound by an avant- jazz pigeonhole, but not ever gagged by it.
		Vu's concept is unique and distinctive, but this is only the beginning for him.

	Jazzcorner's Speakeasy - JC CD Group Review: Matthias Lupri - Transition Sonic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Cuong Vu is brilliant with his free trumpet expression that takes this composition to another level.
		Cuong Vu and Mark Turner shimmer with masterful compliments and solos that combine the blunt precision of Vu's trumpeting and Turner's saxophone phrasing with that of Radley's original guitar voice.
		Cuong Vu is great, although used for textural effects more often than I would have liked (these are used well, I just wanted to hear more of him in a melodic context).

	Cuong Vu prefers not to trumpet his Bellevue roots
		After years of performances in off-beat clubs and grueling tours of Europe on a tight budget, trumpeter Cuong Vu thought his playing and original music would never be heard by large audiences.
		Dissonant, rock-inspired improvisations are still in Vu's music, but they emerge from the compositions as naturally as a chattering flock of gulls rises from the beach and soars across the sea.
		Vu is capable of the rigorous intellectual work necessary for deep playing partially because he has a strong jazz education.

	Review: Cuong Vu - It's Mostly Residual (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In a 1998 review of Cuong Vu’s concert at the Tampere, Finland Jazz Happening I remarked “Vu's compositions were marked by clear structural lines, angular melodies, beautiful voicings and harmonies among the horns, tight ensemble work, and sophisticated rhythm shifts.” The Tampere Festival was Vu’s first major break, an international one at that.
		Vu seems to favor timekeeping that combines solid anchor points with rhythmic elasticity., On ballads, Vu has a most effective way of slowly accelerating a composition’s intensity.
		Vu is one of the players who has it all.

	Seattle Weekly: Music: Creation’s Song by Mark D. Fefer
		Vu instantly earned notice for his strangely arid, dark sound, and after gigging with different bands and leading some of his own, he eventually found his musical soul mate in Stomu Takeishi, an innovative electric bassist who’s been part of Henry Threadgill’s group among plenty of others.
		Vu and Takeishi have been a unit ever since, backing up pianist Myra Melford and working with a succession of drummers in the Cuong Vu Trio.
		Though Vu and Takeishi’s playing can be minimalist at times, they engender a storm of noise through echoes, effects, and distortions, as the percussion busily carves up the surface.

	[KFCC] Spirits Review
		Director Victor Vu knows that a lot of films nowadays use CGI in abundance, and tries to steer clear away from the recent mold of horror films.
		The main cast comprising of Kathleen Luong (Linh), Tuan Cuong (Loc), and Kathy Nguyen (Hoa) are good in their respective roles of Loc’s new love interest with a haunting past, a writer fascinated with a world of fiction and the perfect yet troubled woman of Loc’s fantasies.
		All other supporting actors: Becky Vu (Loc’s Mother), Dang Hung Son (Hoa’s Father), Michael Minh (The Divyner’s son), Catherine Thuy Ai (The Divyner), and Nam Sinh Tin (The Divyner) are pretty decent in their roles as well, but nothing to go crazy over though.

	Cuong Vu :: It's Mostly Residual
		t's Mostly Residual is a sonic record, to date, of trumpeter Cuong Vu's musical trip through life — a life conceptualized as dense urbanized noise-scapes (specifically listen to the hyperactive "Expressions of A Neurotic Impulse"), intercut with advancing and receding episodes of pastoral calm.
		The compositions are mostly layered modal songs that harness the power of rock and pop, the ambient colours of new music, and the speed of 'noise music' wherein Vu and guitarist Bill Frisell are the unison voices, joined in solidarity amidst the relentless pulse of the gathering crowd ("It's Mostly Residual").
		Cuong Vu's music is a living residue of journeys taken and journeys returned from, in sound.

		The tune even finds Vu tossing in corny rock gestures like an arena rock crescendo and gurgling trumpet lines that bounce between right and left speakers as if this were a Pink Floyd album.
		Vu follows that up with an unblushingly catchy trumpet line on "Pitter-Patter" that wouldn't sound out of place on a Beatles record.
		However, Vu obviously isn't out to record an instrumental Beach Boys album either -- the vibe on Pure is still overwhelmingly ambient, rumbling and austere.

	Satoko Fujii/Cuong Vu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Which is part of what distinguishes Satoko Fujii and Cuong Vu -- two otherwise dissimilar artists who happen to share an ethos of true progressiveness and an aversion to genre-speak.
		The title track that opens their disc is a 14-minute opus that seeps through electronic ambience into an achingly hypnotic melody, and back again; its effect, strikingly un-jazzlike, is actually strongly reminiscent of Sigur Rós (particularly the dirge "Svefn-G-Englar," which occupies an analogous spot on their last CD).
		Their sound is coarser than Vu's, less an amalgam than a collision.

	CD Review of Cuong Vu - Come Play With Me on Knitting Factory Records @ jazzreview.com
		Cuong Vu is a trumpeter whose established in NYC’s eclectic “downtown”/Knitting Factory/Tonic/friends of John Zorn scene, and is a member of Chris Speed’s fine freebop band Deviantics.
		Vu’s latest, Come Play With Me, is in my estimation a brilliantly realized endeavor to assimilate the monumental influence of Miles Davis’ electric stuff (i.e., Live-Evil, Get Up With It, In A Silent Way) and build something distinctive upon it.
		Vu is not overcome by Miles’ trumpet style — he has that haunting middle-register sound, but he’s also judiciously “vocal” in the manner of free masters Wadada Leo Smith and the late, great Lester Bowie, along with a soupçon of that crackling, rippling Lee Morgan sound.

	Cuong Vu \| It's Mostly Residual
		While Vu has undoubtedly learned more than a thing or two from time spent with Metheny, he was recruited for exactly those qualities that have made his own releases so intriguing.
		Vu augments his regular trio with bassist Stomu Takeishi and drummer Ted Poor by adding guitarist Bill Frisell, thus giving the album an even larger sonic landscape, drawing from Frisellâs own ability to pull otherworldly sounds from his guitar in full force.
		Vuâs writing, which can combine legato melodies with freer explorations, running the gamut from delicate and spacious to dense and aggressive, has never been better.
