Everytime I think I know a few things about jazz I read one of your columns and come back down to earth again. The education is always fun, though. 688104@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Jan 2008 21:32:44 EST Comment by Michael J.

But it wasn't until <em>Memphis Blood</em> that he got a lot of recognition for his blues side, which is why I call that record a "watershed" for him. Since then, blues seems to be all he does lately. As long as he makes them this good, that's alright by me. 688093@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Jan 2008 20:11:27 EST Comment by Michael J.

I know a modern-classical guitarist who says Morton Feldman, Derek Bailey, and Ulmer are his major influences...wouldn't have dreamed he'd be doing a blues record. 687966@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Jan 2008 08:10:59 EST Comment by Mark Saleski on Music Review: James Blood Ulmer - <em>Bad Blood In The City; The Piety Street Sessions</em> http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/01/15/023718.php#comment-687962 Ulmer is a wonder, eh? i mean, i bought <i>Are You Glad To Be In America?</i> all those years ago and would have <b>never</b> thought he would be playing music like this. 687962@blogcritics.org Tue, 15 Jan 2008 07:22:15 EST
