CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com If trumpeter Cuong Vu's OmniTone release, Bound, represents his hyped-up, speedy freebop side, then Pure cuts to an altogether different quick. This trio session blurs angularity for a washing, ambient feel that prevails throughout the six long tracks. As with any high-quality ambient excursion, Pure has varied dynamics, with Vu's trumpet sounding Bill Dixon's textural free play and also sounding at times like the sound is pulled through the horn in reverse. Bassist Stomu Takeishi and drummer John Hollenbeck's clipped, jumpy rhythms on the moderately quick "Pitter-Patter" give a funky backbone to Vu as he meditates wonderfully on midrange extended phrases. That mixture of extended phrases and an artfully unbridled approach to his trumpet's tonal structures make Pure, like Vu's Bound, a viscerally exciting project that creates mind-blowing atmospheres. --Andrew Bartlett Similar CDs

CD ReviewsDark growling moody noir 05/01/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "okay, so everyone throws around "noir" these days, but in this case i think it really fits. and someone compared a track to "sister ray," and i can see what they're thinking. the drumming is often very rock-oriented, the bass-player feeds back, and vu's trumpet is like a stream-of-consciousness georges bataille voice. no one else is doing this." Downtown improv Stargrazer | deep in the heart of Michigan | 11/01/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) ""Pure" is abstract and ephemeral, sometimes gauzy and sometimes strident. Vu's trumpet fades in and out, allowing plenty of space for each member of the trio to shine.
The rhythm section anchors floating, spinning compositions and channels them into dark funk territory. Stomu Takeishi's post-rockish bass is one of the real treats on this disc, swooping down on elusive grooves and pinning them to the wall." |
