Nguyên Lê - Three Trios 1997


Nguyên Lê - Three Trios 1997
Label: Act
Audio CD (August 6, 1999)

Jazz

Nguyên Lê is a fusion guitarist who has versatility, leaves space, and does not mind caressing a melody now and then. On 3 Trios, he is heard with three different trios, all of which are impressive and engage in close interplay with the leader. Lê, who contributed nine of the 11 selections, is the lead voice throughout despite occasional solos from his sidemen. The music is adventurous and unpredictable, with even Thelonious Monk's "Straight No Chaser" being turned into creative fusion. 3 Trios is worth checking out by fans of rockish guitar solos. ~ By Scott Yanow, All Music Guide.

This is an outstanding record! To find out how deep, sensitive and powerful Nguyen Le his guitar plays it's better to listen twice or more! Even Le gives this album what it is, his partners made a great job too. However, to make the whole thing perfect I would recommend to be a little bit in fusion. If so, you will not disappointed. For sure.

Nguyen Le is extremely versatile, from Funk to Rock, Jazz/Fusion to World. The spectrum of music/techniques changed from song to song. His techniques combine many styles unlike other vituosos with somewhat signatory chops. He also use the tremolo bar to retained micro-tones aka. the in-between-notes. Highly reccommended!
