About This Release
The first volume of Don't Touch My Music, by German-American reedman Gebhard Ullmann's long-running band Basement Research. Released by Not Two in 2008, it captures one of Ullmann's most enduring vehicles in the studio, balancing his angular, characterful compositions with strong solo voices, and was issued alongside a companion second volume.

Critical Reception
The music has the loose-as-it-can-be/as-tight-as-it-needs-to-be vibe that defines so much great jazz.

Every track is tantalizing. No matter which way the ear is cocked, the music has vitality, panache, and verve.
