Exploring the vast space between jazz composition and free improvisation, Saft / Vu develops structures built of dark shadow and jagged plateau, constantly redefining their own musical language. Pianist Jamie Saft and trumpeter Cuong Vu have recently drawn attention for their contributions to Bobby Previte's Too Close To The Pole. They've studied with microtonal master Joe Maneri at the New England Conservatory, and Vu has also recorded with Orange Then Blue and Dave Douglas. They're joined by reedman Andrew D' Angelo (also from Previte band) and formidable percussionist Jim Black (of Tim Berne's Bloodcount, Dave Douglas Tiny Bell Trio, Ellery Eskelin Trio). A very impressive debut. -DMG 1997
