Sorry to learn of the death of James Blood Ulmer
Ever since his song Jazz is the Teacher Funk is the Preacher was somewhere near the top (maybe at the top) of a Village Voice "Pazz and Jop" poll I've been a fan. Listen to "Are You Glad To Be In America?" wherever or however you listen
Musician who spliced jazz, funk and blues, including in a spell on a major label in the early 1980s, was celebrated as ‘fearless’ by his family
