We pass along our condolences to family, friends, colleagues and fans of the late, great, one-of-a-kind guitarist-vocalist James "Blood" Ulmer (1940-2026), who passed away June 3 at the age of 86. Fifteen years ago NYCJR was honored to have him on our Cover. RIP.
Today marks 50 years since the world premiere of "Music for 18 Musicians" by Steve Reich on April 24, 1976, at New York’s Town Hall, performed by Steve Reich and Musicians.
