A unique guitar work that combines funk and avant-garde.
This is a masterpiece from James Blood Ulmer's harmolodic period, incorporating Ornette Coleman's theories. It boldly blends elements of funk, blues, and free music, with a hard-hitting groove running throughout.
The edgy guitar and irregular rhythmic structure create an overwhelming sense of tension. Ulmer's distinctive chord progressions are blues-based yet highly flexible, and the solos are explosive. On tracks like "Family Affair" and "Open House," avant-garde interpretations coexist within the bouncing groove of funk. With a hard, spiritual sound, this is a masterpiece that symbolizes the New York underground scene of the early '80s.
