Sideman to the Stars to Make Debut Performance With New Band
PDX Jazz, the presenting organization of the Portland Jazz Festival in partnership with The Mission Theater, along with The Crystal Hotel and our media sponsor KMHD Radio, is set to continue the PDX Jazz @ The Mission Theater series with Cuong Vu on Wednesday, October 26th at 8pm. The world renowned Vietnamese trumpeter will be performing with the Seattle-based quartet, Burn List. Vu and his band will be interviewed live on KMHD Radio this Wednesday, October 26 at 4pm.
Burn List is a new collaboration out of Seattle featuring Vu on trumpet, tenor saxophonist Greg Sinibaldi, keyboardist Aaron Otheim, and drummer Chris Icasiano. The group plays incredibly diverse styles, with influences ranging from Albert Ayler to Aphex Twin and Ligeti to Messhuggah, amongst their many other sounds. Expect a truly unique listening experience.
Cuong Vu's most recent album, Leaps of Faith, was released in February and was met with Vu's customary positive reviews. "Leaps of Faith is a musical paradox, conveying stillness and serenity through blatant expressions of noise. The results are brilliant." - Jazzreview.com. "That the band is able to make so many disparate elements intersect at all, let alone with cohesion and vitality, speak to Vu and the Band's marvelous imagination." - JazzTimes.

- Matt Cibula, PopMatters.com

"This young musician [Miguel Zenón] and composer is at once reestablishing the artistic, cultural, and social tradition of jazz while creating an entirely new jazz language for the 21st century."
