credits

released April 1, 2003

Gebhard Ullmann - tenor and soprano saxes, bass clarinet
Michael Jefry Stevens - piano
Joe Fonda - bass
Han Bennink - drums

Recorded march 7, 2001 by Gerhard Gruber for Bayerischer Rundfunk.

'Even taking into account Gebhard Ullmann's outstanding discography, this is an extraordinary release due in large part to one of the most impressive rhythm sections on either side of the Atlantic. Ullmann rises to this occasion with some of his most inspired work on disc and when it is over the only question is: why isn't Ullmann better known than he is ? His full sound on tenor sax resounds with the consistency of a thick chocolate shake ... This is a group that indulges in diversity, and one minute the mood maybe upbeat and fanciful, and the next morose and somber but there is no question that Ullmann knows where he is going. He treats that fine line between playing chords and venturing out on a limb; a balancing act that he handles with finesse. 4 1/2 stars.' (Allmusic Guide USA - Steven Loewy)
