The Lace Mill presents:

“Few improvising artists can boast the stream of creative ideas that seem to bubble from Gebhard Ullmann. Ullmann focuses on the fundamentals of improvised jazz: melody, sound, syncopation and technical excellence, but what makes his writing and playing so successful is his seemingly neverending innovative nature: without grasping for neoteric straws, Ullmann’s performances are grounded in the past but plunge forward deliberately toward modernity. Ullmann leaves the strong mark of a disciplined sculptor of sound, who speaks his own compelling language.”
— Steven Loewy, Cadence Magazine New York

“In a time when you can literally feel the oppressive energy of a new administration hell bent on keeping us scared, confused and impotent it is more important than ever that music be the positive energy pushing back on these clouds of negativity that seem to surround us now more than ever. The prime directive for creative musicians is to add our positive voices to help heal and remind each other of what the arts can do to free ourselves in mind, body and spirit. Through our sound we are striving to disperse those dark clouds from taking hold and suffocating our dreams and aspirations. Our voices will never be silenced.”
— Steve Swell, April 2017

“The physicality of Mr. Bisio’s bass playing puts him in touch with numerous predecessors in the avant-garde, but his expressive touch is distinctive.”
— Nate Chinen, The New York Times

Note: Guests must street park, plenty of parking on Manor Avenue and Progress Street.
