TIGERTAIL PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS
James Blood Ulmer

Jazz and blues legend James Blood
Ulmer, with an electrifying trio —
himself, Mark Peterson and
Aubrey Dayle — performs a
rare Miami concert.

This Miami concert comes on the heels of his first-ever appearance at the 2007 Bonnaroo Music Festival. Earlier in his career Ulmer played with pioneering jazz-great Ornette Coleman. Today this iconoclastic genius mixes it up with the raw power of the blues, R & B and funk to create an indelible and unique sound. His previous CD was awarded Down Beat magazine's "Blues Album of the Year," and his most recent work, a moving take on the Katrina catastrophe, has made James Blood Ulmer's voice and searing guitar more relevant than ever.

"With Ulmer's murky drawl and plangent electric guitar… he achieves a humid immediacy" Vibe Magazine

"Ulmer is a leading interpreter of the blues…transcendent and edgy." Washington Post

"Ulmer still sings as if 20 miles of bad road lie ahead."
