" ullmann thrives on playing without a net, and being caught live only enhances the experience. i have always thought that deep inside, ullmann was a blues man, but in the same way as coleman hawkins, neither come right out and play the blues per se, but it always lurks beneath the surface. perhaps it is not coincidental that "in muenster" starts with "blaues lied (blue song)" a very deep but also deeply twisted blues ... the band is very, very hot on this record. malaby gives as much as he gets, gress plays powerfully, and haynes injects his percussive sounds at will. the music twists and turns, never standing still, as many waves go, crest and crash, only to start again. this performance manifests the sound of surprise that is at the core of the best jazz." (budd kopman, allaboutjazz 3/'07) " mit seinem new yorker quartett basement research hat sich g.u. eine souveräne ruhe erspielt, die auf 'live in münster' einen vorläufigen höhepunkt errreicht. doch in der ruhe liegt in diesem fall die kraft. ullmann und co. scheinen jeden einzelnen ton schon lange vor seinem erklingen im visier zu haben und wirken dabei dennoch absolut frisch und spontan" (jazzthing, germany 2/'07) " one of the things that makes this disc and quartet so special is the often warm and well-matched playing of both saxists. the other great quality is the consistently strong composing and spirited playing throughout." (bruce gallanter, downtown music gallery 4/'07) recorded live at the kreativhaus in muenster on october 3, 1999 engineer: manfred brass digital cut: ilona bohr mastering and final cut by jens troendle produced by markus heuger (wdr) and gebhard ullmann for wdr (westdeutscher rundfunk) and nottwo records. gebhard ullmann (tenor & soprano saxophones, bassclarinet) tony malaby (tenor saxophone) drew gress (double bass) phil haynes (drums)
