This, the fourth album from these two Paris-based musicians, is a combination of squashy-soft jazz guitar and needle-pointed Vietnamese voice, all angles and prisms. Huong Thanh sings, Nguyen Le&#;s guitar picks up the tune, reflects on it, elaborates, and so it goes. It’s a collaboration that has been received well in the past, but to me the two tones, soft and sharp, feel uncomfortable together, as if, despite the sympathy between them, they&#;re constantly pulling in different directions. When Thanh sings without the guitar in &#;The Pavillion of Crystallized Azu&#; it&#;s as if she&#;s been rescued from a sea of damp mousse. Her precision sits better with the classical strings on &#;Faithfulness&#; and the background pops and trills of &#;At Dusk, From the West Balcony.&#; This is one of those tricky albums &#; I can tell that it&#;s objectively good, that Thanh is a beautiful, skilful singer and that if squashy jazz guitars need to be noodled then Le is the man to noodle them, but the music, no matter how well-executed, makes me wish that we could ditch him and partner her forever with the other instruments instead.
