...work meetings in his apartment at 8, thereafter running through as many as three rehearsals during the day. Boulez's mastery of conducting the modern repertory-from Debussy and Stravinsky to Webern and Olivier Messiaen-is untouchable. Next week he will start taking small groups of instrumentalists to Greenwich Village to proselytize among the hip young (TIME, Feb. 22).

The vogue back in 1960 was something known as "uptown rhythm and blues"-the first attempt to make R. and B. more palatable to the white audience. Uptown R. and B, was so named not because any downtown brand existed, but because in the offices of what had once been New York's Tin Pan Alley, some of the best young white producers and writers were turning out new song material for all-black...
