2025.09.29 Vernon Reid on James Blood Ulmer - 1 of 3

What is the great lesson of a James Blood Ulmer for fellow guitarist/composer/bandleader Vernon Reid?  Find out this Monday (9/29) when Vernon Reid and host Mitch Goldman plunge into the WKCR archives in search of rare, live recordings.  Some of them might even feature Vernon's early spirit guide and Blood's fellow Prime Timer, Ronald Shannon Jackson.     Now, for those of you who can't stand the suspense of waiting for Monday, here's one possible answer to that question: there is no "A" James Blood Ulmer.  There is only "THE" James Blood Ulmer.  He is and always will be in a class of exactly one.    Deep Focus airs Mondays from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD, or wkcr.org.   Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  Just like WKCR, it's ad-free, all free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Learn more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Photo credit: no publishing information available. #WKCR #DeepFocus #JamesBloodUlmer #VernonReid #OrnetteColeman #NoWave #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman
