Essencia by Gebhard Ullmann / Jens Thomas / Carlos Bica

Gebhard Ullmann (bass clarinet, soprano and tenor saxes)
Jens Thomas (piano)
Carlos Bica (double bass)

' The final result is a magical recording, different than most anything I've heard before, and once again bringing the secret of melodic beauty back to free improvisation. Hearing Essencia is like discovering Charlie Haden for the first time. ' (Cadence Magazine New York - Phillip McNally)
