Fog City Blues

Remembering Rob Reich

Devon Strolovitch

The composer and multi-instrumentalist passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in May.

Whether playing Danjo Reinhardt-style jazz with Gaucho, serving as musical director with Circus Bella, or performing in his own numerous ensembles—with accordion always at hand—Rob Reich was a ubiquitous presence in the Bay Area music scene. Host Devon Strolovitch is joined by musical friends and collaborators to remember the man and his music. Sunday, June 22 at 4 pm.

Devon Strolovitch studied medieval Judeo-Portuguese manuscripts and earned a PhD in Linguistics from Cornell University before coming to KALW. He is the Senior Producer of Philosophy Talk, and since 2007 has hosted Fog City Blues, the weekly digest of Blues in the Bay Area and beyond.
