Waking Up in New York City A Musical Tour of the Big Apple

New York City is a traditional hotbed of musical innovation, spawning wave after wave of vibrant new music forms - jazz, folk, punk, new wave and rock 'n' roll - that have gone on to dominate the globe. But the city's rich musical heritage has always been rooted in what's happening at a local level, in the clubs, bars and studios where it first finds a voice and an audience. In Waking Up In New York City, Mike Evans gives an impressionistic first-person account of his favourite town as he hits the streets, taking the city's pulse via interviews with the people who create, market and listen to its music. Exploring the scene district by district, with additional information on how to travel and where to eat, sleep and just hang out and groove, Waking Up In New York City is a unique companion and essential guide for any music fan wishing to visit - or just read about - the Big Apple.
