CUONG VU 4TET - Ballet (The Music Of Michael Gibbs) (Sealed) (LP)

180g LP. Following his acclaimed 2016 recording, Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny (Nonesuch Records), and 2014 collaboration with Richard Karpen on their Ellington - Strayhorn tribute That The Days Go By And Never Come Again (RareNoiseRecords), trumpeter - composer Cuong Vu joins forces with guest guitarist Bill Frisell on Ballet , a tribute to renowned composer arranger Michael Gibbs. 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
