“Few improvising artists can boast the stream of creative ideas that seem to bubble from Gebhard Ullmann… [He] leaves the strong mark of a disciplined sculptor of sound, who speaks his own compelling language.” — Steven Loewy, Cadence
“[Ullmann] knows when to pull which tool out of the chest, and he uses the many devices at his disposal as means to an end, shaping his improvisations like a sculptor.”— Neil Tesser, Chicago Reader
