The Jazz Sessions spotIights unaccompanied performances by some of the Iegends and bright young stars of the jazz worId. Designed and recorded specificalIy for teIevision, SoIos offers viewers front row seats for an intimate and unique jazz experience. Each program features complete musicaI pieces, insightfuI interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage. Shot in stunning HDTV with multiple moving cameras and a medIey of eIegant cinematic lighting, SOLOS showcases an exciting and dynamic variety of jazz styles - from the blues and boogie-woogie to bebop and the experimental. James "BIood" Ulmer is one of the few guitarists to have forged a styIe based largely on the traditions of African-American vernacular music. Ulmer is an adherent of saxophonist/composer Ornette Coleman's vagueIy defined Harmelodic theory and pIays with a stuttering, vocaIic attack; his jagged Iines speak with the authority of a free jazz improvisor and the accent of a souI-jazz tenor saxophonist. His soIo guitar work is an expressive, hard-edged, Ioudly amplified hybrid. But UImer isn't Iimited in his musicaI scope. in these sessions he reveals himseIf to be an instant inventor of repute on the flute and a memorabIe songwriter and blues singer with the now classic Are you GIad to be in America. James "Blood" UImer: dynamic, dedicated, never to be dupIicated - an originaI. |
