Odyssey

by James Blood Ulmer

Odyssey cover art

Featuring a unique, stripped-down trio consisting of drums, violin, and his signature harmolodic guitar playing, Ulmer delivers an exceptional, roots-oriented jazz-rock album. The music heavily incorporates Appalachian folk and Delta blues structures, filtered through Ornette Coleman's avant-garde free-jazz theories. It is widely considered Ulmer's most accessible and consistently brilliant solo recording.
