Vietnam: Reflections album Product Description
Vietnam: Reflections album by Billy Bang was released May 04, 2005 on the Justin Time label. Violinist Billy Bang's series of recordings about his Vietnam experiences have helped him open up and purge some demons, and they have resulted in some superior music. Vietnam: Reflections songs On this set, he performs originals that hint at Asian music and often become fertile vamps for the improvisations of Bang and his sidemen. Vietnam: Reflections album There are also three traditional Vietnamese melodies and brief vocals from Co Boi Nguyen. Vietnam: Reflections CD music Bang has rarely sounded better, and he is assisted quite ably in the solo department by altoist James Spaulding, Henry Threadgill (who sticks to flute), trumpeter Ted Daniel, and pianist John Hicks. The music is more post-bop and even hard bop than it is avant-garde, and it is both accessible and creative. Vietnam: Reflections is well worth exploring. ~ Scott Yanow Liner Note Author: Howard Mandel. Recording information: Nola Studios, New York, NY (05/18/2004/05/19/2004). Arranger: Billy Bang.
