“James Blood Ulmer removes his name from the cover of this reunion of his Odyssey trio, and for good reason. As the rather awkward group name indicates, this is more of a band album than a solo project, especially with Ulmer's longtime associate Charles Burnham's searing violin playing such a prominent role in the sound. Only the third appearance of this ensemble on album, and the threesome's sole release since 1998's Reunion concert disc, the collective's synergy remains amazingly sharp.”

James "Blood" Ulmer: Birthright (2005)

Label: Hyena TMF 9335 | Genre: Blues

“Since the end of the last decade, James Blood Ulmer has been involved in a conscious investigation of the blues as a force for reinvention. On various labels and with a varying group of musicians, Blood has fused, melded, and strained the genre through everything from funk to psychedelic rock and jazz with mixed but always provocative results. Guitarist and producer Vernon Reid has been a constant on Ulmer's last two offerings: 2001's Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions and 2003's No Escape from the Blues: The Electric Ladyland Sessions. The quest continues on Birthright, and in some senses the stakes are even higher because this is a completely solo recording. Reid produces but doesn't perform. Ulmer is the only musician on the entire record. He plays guitars and flute, and he sings. Stripped to the bone, swampy, spooky, and sexy, Birthright is alternately jagged and flowing; it goes into the heart of the blues as Blood experiences it. ”

“Over three days in April 2001, James "Blood" Ulmer and producer/guitarist Vernon Reid (yes, of Living Colour fame) went into the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis and kicked out some of the greasiest, knottiest, most surreal blues music ever. The blues have always been part of Ulmer's iconography, even when deeply entrenched in the harmolodic theory he helped to develop with Ornette Coleman. Over the years on his albums for DIW, Ulmer has with mixed results attempted to dig into the blues wholesale, but until now, with the aid of Vernon Reid and a cast of stellar if not well-known musicians, Blood hasn't been able to indulge his obsession to the hilt. All 14 songs on Memphis Blood are covers, many of them blues classics from the canon, with a few from Ulmer's own shrine book. ”

Label: Innerhythmic INR-005 | Genre: Jazz/Funk/Blues/Fusion

“On his Innerhythmic debut, and among Innerhythmic's initial releases is the legendary James Blood Ulmer. Although best known for his work with harmolodics and Ornette Coleman, Blue Blood finds him returning to his Southern Roots and sensibilities and playing some hard, raw blues in a style that only he can claim. Along with a stellar cast of producer Bill Laswell, P-Funk warriors Bernie Worrell and Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey and gospel great Amina Claudine Myers, Blood delivers something for both his dedicated jazz fans and also serves as an excellent introduction to new listeners. James Blood Ulmer has developed an art which is virtuostic and experimental in the great tradition of Jazz, yet retains the emotional authenticity of Rock and Blues. His own, very unique sound continues push the boundaries of genre bending music.”

“Guitar and vocalist James "Blood" Ulmer collaborated with Ornette Coleman and drummer Rashied Ali (Coltrane). In turn, he is an inspiration to modern rock groups from Steely Dan to Red Hot Chili Peppers to Butthole Surfers for his interpretive "free guitar" style. Ulmer's string stretches are bolstered by electric violinist Charlie Burnham -- both are Southern boys with an affinity for the emotional, expressive Delta blues. Together, the pair lead a trio (rounded out by drummer Warren Benbrow) that gives avant-jazz constructions with a blues feeling. ”

“Since the late 1970s, James Blood Ulmer has defined himself as a musical chameleon with a singular sound. His many ensembles range from blues/funk trios to chamber jazz quartets to free jazz sextets to harmolodic funk and soul groups. The band he assembled for Forbidden Blues in 1996 was his standard blues with Amin Ali on electric bass and Calvin Weston on drums, and augmented on certain cuts with longtime collaborator Charles Burnham on violin, Calvin Jones playing acoustic bass, Michael Musutafa on keyboards, and vocalist Dana Manno on one cut. Blood, of course, played guitar, sang in a few spots, and even played flute on one track. ”

“Even as the Beatles began heading toward an inevitable breakup, their prolific ways continued; this two-disc look back only skims the surface of their later achievements. Excerpts from Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, the white album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be compete for space with classic singles that do as much or more to prove their eclecticism: the epic ballad "Hey Jude," the plaintive "Strawberry Fields Forever," straight rock & roll of all stripes from the plainspoken "Revolution" and "Get Back" to the surreal "Come Together." Decades after the split, this (and its companion set of 1962-1966 cuts) remains a favored introduction for young listeners and a key sampler for veteran fans. --Rickey Wright @ amazon”

“Carly Simon's third album, 1972's NO SECRETS, was her best-selling release ever, thanks to the inclusion of the huge hit single "You're So Vain". Speculation persists over the identity of the person so deftly skewered in this song (Simon's been quoted as saying that while there are elements of various people in the lyrics, "there's nothing there that isn't true of Warren Beatty"), to such an extent that the excellence of the rest of the album is often overlooked. Besides the gospel-tinged hit "The Right Thing to Do", there's a moving tribute to the Carter Family (an early country music trio of the 1930s). "We Have No Secrets" is a confessional delight, and "Waited So Long" and James Taylor's "Night Owl" are two of the most rocking songs Simon ever recorded. Exquisitely produced and smartly sequenced, NO SECRETS has just the right balance of slick studio polish and soulful rough edges to make this a classic of '70s singer-songwriter pop.”

“This is the DVD-Audio version of the Ninth Symphony from the Teldec Classics recording of the Beethoven Nine Symphonies with Daneil Barenboim and the Berliner Staatskapelle Orchestra. It is not an "Authenic Instruments" performance. It is rather a return to the more "Traditional" performance style of 40 or 50 years ago when an orchestra and chorus would perform the Ninth at a special concert or occassion. I can say that this DVD-Audio gives you the feeling of being at a special performance. The recording is quite good as is the performance.”

“Blood always sounds best when he's skronking over the top of a free flowing, interactive and understated rhythm section.... He conjures up that more open-ended vibe on this collection of Ornette Coleman compositions.... Former Coltrane drummer Rashied Ali and acoustic bassist Calvin "Hassen Truth" Jones create the ever-shifting textures, implied beats, and rhythmic accents beneath Blood's signature guitar work.... Few other six-stringers can capture the provocative, probing essence and dark beauty of Ornette like Blood.”

“James Blood Ulmer's sporadic and ever-evolving Music Revelation Ensemble has featured at one time or another everyone from David Murray and Roland Shannon Jackson to John Zorn and the late George Adams. The results have been spotty as well, but when Blood is on in this band, his true jamming unit, there's none better. This disc is one example of that power with a rhythm section consisting of Amin Ali on bass and Cornell W. Rochester on drums, and two guests saxophonists who go by the names Arthur Blythe (whose landmark Lennox Avenue Breakdown facilitated Ulmer getting a Columbia Records contract in the 1970s) and Hamiet Bluiett, splitting the eight tunes between them.”
