"With his beautiful, round soprano tone, saxophonist Udden lends a haunting sheen                  to tunes spanning the soothingly melodic to the jaggedly free."                                                          -Modern Drummer
	"The Boston soprano player has earned kudos in New England, impressing Either/Orchestra fans with a lithe sound and insightful solos. His torchsongs (FSNT-253) is a small wonder, full of color and daring."                                                 - Village Voice
	"Small Man - Big Sound!"                                               -The Monitor, Kampala, Uganda
	----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Based in Brooklyn, Udden will soon release his second record for Fresh Sound New Talent.  He leads two bands in New York - plainville, and torchsongs: torchsongs is a song set of "melodic jazz/rock to some very focused free playing" (Ray Comiskey, The Irish Times) played by a rotating cast including Ben Monder, Matt Wilson, Leo Genovese, Tim Miller, Ziv Ravitz, and occasional honored guest Bob Brookmeyer.  While the more folk/alt-country influenced Plainville (album coming fall '08 on FSNT) is gaining momentum in front of both jazz and folk audiences - with Pete Rende (pump organ), Brandon Seabrook (banjo,guitar), Eivind Opsvik (bass) and RJ Miller (drums).  At times energetic as well as quiet and contemplative, the sonic landscape contains rock, bluegrass, and free influences.
