i second these motions: I would recommend some of his earlier material: Music Revelation Ensemble No Wave Moers Music 01072 James Blood Tales of Captain Black DIW 403 James Blood Ulmer Are You Glad To Be In America? DIW 400 James Blood Ulmer Free Lancing Columbia 37493 James Blood Ulmer Black Rock Columbia 38285 i would add odyssey from columbia. the live album on knitting factory with the odyssey band had some moments, but wasn't nearly as good. i haven't heard the second recent blues disc, but i thought the first one was pretty good. i saw him once in a trio with amin ali and calvin weston (in a small folk club where i also saw last exit). he played over the same 2 chord vamp for the entirety of 2 sets. it was boring as hell, and i was severely disappointed. sean oh yeah, there's one of those crazy laswell projects that has blood, amina claudine myers, bernie worrell and ziggy modeleste. the band was called third rail, and there were some good cuts on south delta space age
