About James Blood Ulmer
James Blood Ulmer is arguably the only guitarist to have successfully bridged jazz, blues, and the avant garde. Raised on gospel music, Ulmer cut his teeth as a sideman in the 1970s with heralded jazz men such as Art Blakey, Paul Bley, and Ornette Coleman. By the '80s, Ulmer had fully immersed himself in New York's avant-garde scene and honed his playing into a distinctive style all his own--equal parts blues grit, jazz finesse, and downtown skronk. Early in the new millennium, Ulmer teamed up with guitarist Vernon Reid to record a straight blues set at the legendary Sun Studios. The resulting album, MEMPHIS BLOOD, was a critical and artistic success.
