Cuong Vu 4-Tet - Alive (from "Change In The Air", RareNoise Records)
As a followup to 2017’s acclaimed Ballet: The Music of Michael Gibbs, Seattle-based trumpeter Cuong Vu joins forces once again with guitar great Bill Frisell, bassist Luke Bergman and drummer Ted Poor on the boundary-pushing quartet outing for RareNoise Records, Change in the Air. With all the members of the quartet contributing compositions, this one finds the four participants on equal footing on ten adventurous originals. From Poor’s dreamy, noirish opener “All That’s Left of Me Is You” and his lonesome echo-laden waltz “Alive” to Bergman’s dynamic “Must Concentrate,” Frisell’s delicate “Look, Listen” and his beguiling heartland melody “Long Ago” and Vu’s angular “Round and Round” and his edgy and electrified “March of the Owl and the Bat,” these four stellar musicians are truly on one accord and dealing with a rare level of nuance and depth of communication on Change in the Air.
Mário Costa Quartet - Chromosome
In the very beginning of 2023, it is time for Mário Costa’s sophomore take on his more personal and authorial project. The new album is titled Chromossome, named after Costa’s rigorous and custom-made writing, considering the DNA of each one of the musicians that he carefully handpicked for the project. Listening to Chromossome it is easy to be enticed by that acute detail of compositions thought as a means to explore each performer’s qualities, enhancing the genius of these captivating and staggering nine tracks. If we keep in mind that Cuong Vu’s trumpet can be found in Bill Frisell, Pat Metheny, David Bowie or Laurie Anderson’s projects, that Bruno Chevillon’s double bass is an habitué in bands lead by Louis Sclavis, Michel Portal or Daniel Humair, and that Benoît Delbecq’s piano has found its way into the music of such diverse protagonists as Evan Parker, Mark Turner or Mary Halvorson, we may get a pale idea of the musical gathering that is taking place here. But only a pale idea because the music that is born out of this four brilliant and very different personalities is greater than the sum of its parts. Each track that Mário Costa offers his accomplices feels like a red carpet for them to explore on, creating the ideal context for a miraculous musical response. And having said that, it is still so little a description. Only music can truly speak for the bewilderment and the creativity outburst that unfolds from Chromossome.

Cuong Vu 4-Tet: A Change In The Air (RareNoise, 2018)
Cuong Vu: trumpet; Bill Frisell: guitar; Luke Bergman: bass, additional guitars track 5; Ted Poor: drums;Fender Rhodes, track 5.
Trumpeter Cuong Vu and guitarist Bill Frisell continue their outstanding chemistry on A Change In The Air, the follow up to last year's excellent Ballet: The Music Of Michael Gibbs featuring the same lineup of bassist Luke Bergman and drummer Ted Poor. Â The band is even tighter than their debut with everyone making contributions writing tunes. The album demonstrates the guitarist's attention to detail and sensitivity always playing the right thing at the correct moment and never being obtrusive. Â Frisell relocated to Seattle from New York in 1988 before moving back to New York City recently, and during his years on the west coast frequently connected with bassist in a variety of situations as he did with the trumpeter. Â As great as Vu's chemistry is with Pat Metheny on the three recordings he is featured on, in Frisell he has an ideal dance partner, and with the cushion of the supportive rhythm section they have nothing to worry about as they roam freely wherever the tunes take them.
Though everyone contributes solid compositions among the album's ten tracks, those of drummer Ted Poor are exceptional.  The opening “All I Have Left Is You” cleverly glances back to a standard era tune, where one can imagine lyrics.  Vu's smooth, glossy tone and lyrical ideas float,  Frisell ever astute, his comping is as gorgeous and sensitive as that of a pianist.  The drummer's “Must Concentrate” with Bergman on second guitar grows from a quiet rocker into a stomping frenzy with an anthemic chorus, and Frisell's singing distorted lines behind Vu.  The pair's playfulness reveals itself on the guitarist's “Look, Listen” with trumpet sneaking silently like a cat around Frisell, Bergman and Poor's intricate counterpoint.  The trumpeter rockets into the stratosphere on “The March Of The Owl And The Bat”, a rhythmic tour de force with shifting meters that he and Frisell dive into with a take no prisoners attitude. Â
A Change In The Air represents the mature phase of Cuong Vu's career;Â not only dealing with his feelings about current society, but continued growth as an artist. Â Vu has always had a beautiful tone and fearless ideas, but the new recording truly shows how stripping things down to the essentials makes things no less compelling. Â He chooses to go with straight acoustic unprocessed horn these days, and the blend with Frisell's unmistakable tone and loops is impressive, the band has a bright future and A Change In The Air is the finest entry to date.
Rating: 9/10
