About the Artist
David Ullmann is a New York City Guitarist/Composer interested in exploring acoustic based jazz that incorporates elements of electronica and other music. The result is an album that moves in moods and styles but with a resonant thematic unity. It features as the core group Joe Ashlar on piano, Vin Scialla on Drums and Pedro Giraurdo on Bass. Through the usage of different textural colors, David Ullmann weaves a unique tapestry of a world of sound. Fender Rhodes, Tabla, and traditional jazz saxophones are all fused together to create an amalgamation of a new york existence. Drawing comparisons as disparate as Soulive to Jazzanova to Bill Frisell, the key ingredient to this recording is the idea that every piece is an actual song, that has an emotional feel, not just a technical exercise.

Product Description
"An old photo album is an extraordinary thing. Crack the spine and the line between what is and what was starts to blur. Former selves, simultaneously you and not you, stand frozen. Worlds that no longer exist rest at your fingertips. Time skips along. Random instants are preserved, elevated by their incidental capture, and countless others recede to grey.

It is in this haphazard assembly that the true wonder lies. Invariably, as each page flips by, a story emerges, the chronicle of a time, a place. The chance manner in which these tales are, over the years, collected piece-by-piece and glued together creates a resonant honesty.

Hidden is an album in the other sense, but cracking its spine is no less transporting." (From the Hidden liner notes written by Max Nichols)
