American guitarist and composer known for blending blues, funk and harmolodic free-jazz approaches; associated with Ornette Coleman and the Prime Time electric bands.

Ulmer was the first guitarist to join Ornette Coleman's electric bands and is associated with the harmolodic conception of music.

The available review praises Ulmer's fusion of blues, funk and harmolodic free jazz. It highlights intense rhythms, sharp phrasing and visceral, raw energy. The album 'Are You Glad to Be in America?' is presented as sophisticated yet uncompromising.

For:Fans of avant-garde jazz, free jazz, blues and experimental guitar music.

 

Black music to the core: tons of blues and funk poured into a boiling and magmatic sound, driven to a frenzy by the relentless rhythm section (Calvin Weston and Ronald Shannon Jackson on drums, Amin Ali on electric bass) and Ulmer’s sharp phrasing, which continues to buzz in your head like a mad insect.
