about:
This is the 4th and final release of the Tá Lam project after 20 years of its existence.
Ta Lam 11 are 10 woodwind players from Berlin including a ‚rhythm section‘ of 4 bass clarinetists plus Swiss accordion genius Hans Hassler.
‚ multi-reedist/composer Gebhard Ullmann has his hand in several cultural pies at once; he ties together elements of African, Asian and European traditions in a seamless personal musical compositional style that is as creative, finely-crafted, and compelling as anything i’ve heard recently. Gebhard has mastered orchestration, counterpoint, and form in ways that few jazz composers have.‘ (Chris Kelsey, Cadence Magazine)
