6 p.m. – 9 p.m. – Excursions: Jazz Motifs w/ Dr. Art Cromwell
Musicians that emerge from the edges, whose playing grabs the ears of other artists because it doesn’t conform to established standards, are called outsiders.
If they persist with a modicum of success, they become iconoclast. If writers heap praise over a period of time, they become an influence. And when they pass, they become legends. James “Blood” Ulmer transited all of these stations of the cross. He passed June 3.
His playing was always difficult to categorize. Instead, Excursions lets the artists have his say.
Sat. June 13, 6-9:00 p.m. EDT on WOUB, Ohio University public radio.
