TRIO BIO ? Cuong Vu?s trio has been referred to as ?the jazz version of a rock music power trio? (Jazz Weekly.com, Dec. 2000). Joined by bassist Stomu Takeishi and drummer Ted Poor, the trio strives in its exploration of sounds and form while embracing the undercurrents of underground rock and electronic music. Together, they create a formidable trio that crisscrosses styles and conventional languages in pursuit of a new musical language without boundaries. Their recordings have received glowing reviews and its music has been described as a ?beguiling tapestry of sound and motion? (Schwann), ?hypnotic? (Jazz Times), ?brooding and masterly...awesome and magnificent? (Jazz Review).
