What a great quartet...really kicks ass. Four really amazing players. Thanks for posting!!

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! So beautiful!

I got the CD and love the music...I had the pleasure to see James blood Ulmer several times in Germany...he likes to call it Deutscheland...listen to the music band 😉...just en joy this free spirit music or let it be

...sorry not to forget this great drummer😇 🥁

Oh what a pleasure👍...to see James Blood Ulmer perform with my bass Idol Jamaaladeen Tacuma...what a joy 😇👍👍👍

Why would one need to tune guitars to different tunings? Is there a benifit that the player get from this.

I wish I had the courage to change tunings. I play nylon string classical guitar, no cut away. I try to focus on where to notes are by ear. At 80 years old, it’s too late to change, at least for me!

Black Rock calling... Ronnie Drayton.. got me in the show and introduced me. 📢👑 Blue's .. amazing style

Black Rock 🎶 Music Ulmerism what a SOUND takes you on voyage!!!

Recorded in April of 1995. Bluiett still had his Selmer Low A. A few months later he sold his Low A Selmer to Bob Ackerman. It was a bad mistake. Hamiet Bluiett died almost 4 years ago. There will never be another great Baritone sax player like Bluiett was. He was one of a kind.

James Blood has flew over any guitar theoly with some genius of his own.

James Blood was a real inspiration for me. Once I heard Black Rock I knew he was onto something special. Thanks for sharing about your tunings. I excited to try them out.

sounds cool

still love it!!

JBU forever, just saw him perform with his odyssey band at visionfest

Best video on KZbin

He played a solo gig close to two hours without a break at Birdland Jazz Club Neuburg , Bavaria , Germany on June 26th!! Impressario Manfred Rehm gave us table 5 - as close as you can get! Spine chilling performance!!

What's that music on the background?

serious question: what does "Um-Ba-La" mean?

if you like this check out James Blood Ulmer Hungary awesome!

cool vid. Happy belated Birthday to James Blood Ulmer!

And somewhere in between I am.

amazing video ! I wish i was there :(

In the house on the left side of the street, a string quartet plays classical music. In the house on the right, a guy just unpacked his first guitar that he had bought. It's hot and the windows are open ... I'm standing in the street. And I pray my bus arrives quickly!

This is excellent, thanks so much man. Been listening for decades, always a serious inspiration (that somehow extends beyond music itself) and I will always wonder how you do it (even though I now finally know the tunings). I wrote a song inspired by Black Rock Music, it is called "Bloodology." Will try to get it on youtube one day and will send a link if I do... Again, much appreciation for this and the music.

Dancing in your head,oh yeah !

These guys were channeling the atmosphere. Pretty deep.

This IS one Formation I did not yet See in Concert.

Blood with Piano, quite rare. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

Blood is using open A tuning in at least one instance. He is playing Vestapol, or Sebastopol. Totally legit, so often used in Country and Blues. He is from North Carolina.

Thank you Maestro!

Reggie Workman on bass & Rashied Ali on drums round out the 4tet

still love it!!

Yeah Ulmer at his best...Cornell and Amin on the Fender bass doing their best job💪👍

OFF ... IS ON !!! ... LOVE IT !!!
