As of right now, I haven’t seen any Vietnamese musicians/bands that could play straight improvising jazz like American musicians. With this album, I am more interested in the lyrics, melodies, and vocals. I am no way expecting Lester Young/Billie Holiday interaction from these performances. At least, we’re getting some original compositions to listen to, especially with the trend of recovering old songs over and over again in the Vietnamese musical scene. Of course, there is room for improvement, but if you’re looking to pop X’s while listening to music, why not go for punk rock or trance? In fact, try X’s with “Cai Luong” next time, it will increase your dramatic experience! In my humble opinion, anyway.

Interesting! I always thought jazz musicians are ‘anal’ about everything when making their music.

this supposedly wannabe (Diana Krawl-ing) jazz music in C-major was done with sampling/synthetic instruments…either they’re coming from a very clever super duper keyboard work station or a computer…only a few lead lines were recorded and of course the vocal. No wonder mr. Gui could not understand why there were no ‘room’ and no ‘interaction’ between the ‘instrumentalists’ (I-robot).

I gave credit to the NM Tri for trying. Good intention, good music, make me relax while popping X’s. Try harder next time.

By the way IMHO (in my humble opinon)

Great to hear the CD will come out soon. We had a great New Year’s Eve party in Colmar Pa where our band Themagicnight played. Trieu Vinh was able to come and did several duets with me.. Anh Tri couldn’t make it but hopefully we get to meet soon. Congrats anh Tri !!

Great job, a. Tri.

Perhaps you could put a couple of the songs on WashingtonPost.com MP3 site: http://mp3.washingtonpost.com/login/login.shtml.

Great way to advertise.
