TIGERTAIL PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS
Jazz and blues legend James Blood 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. "…the missing link between Jimi Hendrix and Wes Montgomery on one hand, between P-Funk and Mississippi Fred McDowell on the other." Village Voice "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."
