reviews:

‚ 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)
