Following his acclaimed 2016 recording, Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny (Nonesuch Records), and 2014 collaboration with Richard Karpen on their Ellington - Strayhorn tribute That The Days Go By And Never Come Again (RareNoiseRecords), trumpeter - composer Cuong Vu joins forces with guest guitarist Bill Frisell on Ballet , a tribute to renowned composer arranger Michael Gibbs.

Vu says, "This was a very collective/equal opportunity effort, so we just played and dealt with the cards collectively as they were dealt.

I think it just comes down to the collection of players and our individual aesthetics coming together and trying to find a common goal/language." They succeed in triumphant fashion on Ballet.
