I always like this band that includes Vernon Reid. Mazz Swift was on
violin. The harmonica was awesome. I loved the piano. The bass and
drums fit in well. It was one long set of music, about 1.5 hours or
so. That's the nice thing about City Winery, they don't have the 1 hour
1 set shows.
They did a lot of covers of great blues songs. I thought they made excellent choices. I recognized a couple from the Allman Brothers and a few more more from the Blues world.

James Blood Ulmer is among the most distinctive and influential electric
guitarists to emerge in the past four decades. Over time, Blood’s
reputation has morphed from that of an avant–garde jazz visionary out of
the Ornette Coleman school to elder statesman of the African–American
musical vernacular encom¬passing jazz, blues, funk, and whatever lies
beyond
