How is it we've never had any James Blood Ulmer here at Doklands before? It defies belief, because his Beeheartian avant-blues/jazz/funk is just the sort of thing that we love. It's sticky and frenetic, and on Open House from his 1982 album Black Rock there's a definite Sonny Sharrock edge to his playing.
If you hear people saying that he plays too many notes, it's because their feet move too slow.
