"Few improvising artists can boast the stream of creative ideas that seem to bubble from Gebhard Ullmann.
Ullmann focuses on the fundamentals of improvised jazz: melody, sound, syncopation and technical excellence,
but what makes his writing and playing so successful is his seemingly neverending innovative nature: without
grasping for neoteric straws, Ullmann's performances are grounded in the past but plunge forward deliberately
toward modernity. Ullmann leaves the strong mark of a disciplined sculptor of sound, who speaks his own
compelling language."
Cadence Magazine New York (Steven Loewy)
"In a time when you can literally feel the oppressive energy of a new administration hell bent on keeping us scared,
confused and impotent it is more important than ever that music be the positive energy pushing back on these
clouds of negativity that seem to surround us now more than ever. The prime directive for creative musicians is to
add our positive voices to help heal and remind each other of what the arts can do to free ourselves in mind, body
and spirit. Through our sound we are striving to disperse those dark clouds from taking hold and suffocating our
dreams and aspirations. Our voices will never be silenced." Steve Swell, April, 2017
" The physicality of Mr. Bisio's bass playing puts him in touch with numerous predecessors in the avante garde, but
his expressive touch is disticntive."
