Tales of Captain Black is a 1978 album by James Blood Ulmer, released by Artists House label. The album features Ornette Coleman on alto, his son Denardo Coleman on drums, and bassist Jamaladeen Tacuma on bass. The album blends funk and free jazz, showcasing Ulmer's skills as a guitarist and Coleman's harmolodic theory of musical composition and improvisation. The album opens with 'Theme From Captain Black,' a furious exercise on the interplay between Ulmer and Tacuma's root contribution. 'Moon Shine' showcases the blues angle of harmolodics.
