The Library is proud to present the Saiyuki Trio as part of the 700-artist, three week Intersections: A New American Arts Festival at the Atlas Performing Arts Center http://intersectionsdc.org/. "Sound magic" from a trio whose name means "Journey to the West." French jazz guitarist Nguyen Le studied visual arts and philosophy before working with artists like Ornette Coleman, Ray Charles, and Mauricio Kagel. Influences from Jimi Hendrix to the traditional music of Viet Nam meld harmonies from East and West to paint "an Asia without borders."
