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.
