Odyssey The Band, James "Blood" Ulmer - Back In Time (2005)

After more than twenty years, the band Odyssey reunites to record the album Back In Time. The trio, led by guitarist James "Blood" Ulmer, continues to develop the principles of harmolodic music, blending improvisational freedom with a deep internal groove. The absence of a bass player is compensated for by Ulmer's specific playing technique, which creates a solid foundation for his dialogue with Charles Burnham's violin.

The release is an eclectic fusion of genres, ranging from spirituals and hard rock to funk and avant-garde blues. It is not merely a return to the past, but a modern interpretation of the band's unique sonic code, where academic complexity exists alongside the emotional directness of country and soul. The album reaffirms Ulmer's status as one of the most original guitarists in the history of modern music.

Warren Benbow - drums
