In and Out (album)

In and Out is an album by American guitarist James Blood Ulmer, recorded in 2009 and released on the German In+Out label.

Reception

The All About Jazz review by Dan Bilawsky awarded the album 3 stars, and stated, "Throughout these ten tracks, Ulmer—joined by bassist Mark E. Peterson and drummer Aubrey Dayle—journeys through bold blues music, self-styled swing, psychedelic rock and far-reaching free jazz." The Independents Phil Johnson said that "guitarist/ vocalist Ulmer sounds like an even bluesier version of his former self, oddly accented rhythmic flurries poised somewhere between Ornette Coleman and Jimi Hendrix".
