BassX3
BassX3 is a powerful intense exploration of
the lower end of the sonic range. Celebrating his 20th year of
performing as a leader, 2005 finds multi-instrumentalist Gebhard Ullmann
still exploring new and wondrous compositional concepts. Performing
here with two long-time associates, New York jazz veteran Chris
Dahlgren, previously of the Jazz Mandolin Project, and Austrian Peter
Herbert, internationally recognized for his film and dance scores,
Gebhard again demonstrates why no less a luminary than Paul Bley once
remarked, “Gebhard Ullmann is one of the finest improvising artists in
the world today.
The music on BassX3
is gentle and hypnotic. Owing much to his overall approach to life, the
music reflects the intensity, passion, and dedication to purpose that
have been the cornerstones of Gebhard’s 20-year career on both sides of
the Atlantic. Gebhard has found that rare center sweet spot that
effortlessly blends the best of several music traditions. The result is
a music that wanders between a land of lush valleys, arid deserts and
weathered mountain peaks; an organic blending of harmonic metaphors,
both real and otherworldly, that softly captivates and transports.
There are few reference points here other than the moment deep within.
