A first-ever book on the subject, New York City Blues: Postwar Portraits from Harlem to the Village and Beyond offers a deep dive into the blues venues and performers in the city from the 1940s through the 1990s. Interviews in this volume bring the reader behind the scenes of the daily and performing lives of working musicians, songwriters, and producers. The interviewers capture their voices — many sadly deceased — and reveal the changes in styles, the connections between performers, and the evolution of New York blues. New York City Blues is an oral history conveyed through the words of the performers themselves and through the photographs of Robert Schaffer, supplemented by the input of Val Wilmer, Paul Harris, and Richard Tapp. The book also features the work of award-winning author and blues scholar John Broven. Along with writing a history of New York blues for the introduction, Broven contributes interviews with Rose Marie McCoy, “Doc” Pomus, Billy Butler, and Billy Bland. Some of the artists interviewed by Larry Simon include Paul Oscher, John Hammond Jr., Rosco Gordon, Larry Dale, Bob Gaddy, “Wild” Jimmy Spruill, and Bobby Robinson. Also featured are over 160 photographs, including those by respected photographers Anton Mikofsky, Wilmer, and Harris, that provide a vivid visual history of the music and the times from Harlem to Greenwich Village and neighboring areas. New York City Blues delivers a strong sense of the major personalities and places such as Harlem’s Apollo Theatre, the history, and an in-depth introduction to the rich variety, sounds, and styles that made up the often-overlooked New York City blues scene.

Jack and Betty Ryan realise that surviving in '60's New York City is a helter-skelter ride of high and lows in their search for a better life after leaving smog bound London. Involvement in the Beatles invasion, the Kennedy Assassination aftermath and the Brooklyn riots provides further complications toward their cultural initiation in becoming surrogate New Yorkers. The question is, will they be able to survive against the odds? "I found NYC Blues a very pleasant read - it was well written and had a belieavelble plot." David Roy OBE. Former Lord Mayor of Birmingham Dale Robinson is a Geordie, a Connaught Hotel trained chef, a University lecturer and an ultra-marathon runner. He has published an autobiography '33 Sycamore' and a biography of London Marathon's Ever-presents 'The Real Marathon Men'. He lives in Birmingham with his partner Janet and enjoys playing saxes and jogging.

"This unique history of jazz in New York examines its many scenes, stages, styles, and sponsors. With one of the most sophisticated black populations anywhere, a vibrant bohemian subculture, a class of entertainment entrepreneurs, and a 24-hour nightlife, New York has long been home for jazz and jazz musicians. Samuel Charters and Leonard Kunstadt have delved through archives of newspapers and stagebills to provide a wider view of New York's jazz scene than ordinarily reported. Record sales, attendance figures, media trends are included along with assessments of musical importance. Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Chick Webb, the Savoy Ballroom, the Apollo Theatre, the Cotton Club all get extended treatment, as do less heralded figures and nightspots. Every jazz musician of note eventually plays in New York and will be found in this book, which chronicles not only their lives but the growth of New York as the world's jazz capital." --

The second in a series of noir romance “Blues” novellas, Brick City Blues centers on a chance meeting between two strangers on an airport layover in Newark, New Jersey—the Brick City. She’s shuttling between her teaching job at Cornell and a research project in DC; he’s on his way to deliver a briefcase full of cash from the Cuban mob in Miami to a local capo for the Italian Mafia in Utica, New York. But opposites attract. Unaware of what he might be mixed up in, she finds herself slowly drawn to the tall, well-dressed stranger with the black briefcase. And he is undeniably attracted to the bookish Ivy League professor. They quickly discover that they have more in common than not. Or so it seems. Welcome to the Brick City, where anything can happen.

He was the leading light of the Beat Generation writers and the most dynamic author of his time, but Jack Kerouac also had a lifelong passion for music, particularly the mid-century jazz of New York City, the development of which he witnessed first-hand during the 1940s with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk to the fore. The novelist, most famous for his 1957 book On the Road, admired the sounds of bebop and attempted to bring something of their original energy to his own writing, a torrent of semi-autobiographical stories he published between 1950 and his early death in 1969. Yet he was also drawn to American popular music of all kinds – from the blues to Broadway ballads – and when he came to record albums under his own name, he married his unique spoken word style with some of the most talented musicians on the scene. Kerouac's musical legacy goes well beyond the studio recordings he made himself: his influence infused generations of music makers who followed in his work – from singer-songwriters to rock bands. Some of the greatest transatlantic names – Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison and David Bowie, Janis Joplin and Tom Waits, Sonic Youth and Death Cab for Cutie, and many more – credited Kerouac's impact on their output. In Kerouac on Record, we consider how the writer brought his passion for jazz to his prose and poetry, his own record releases, the ways his legacy has been sustained by numerous more recent talents, those rock tributes that have kept his memory alive and some of the scores that have featured in Hollywood adaptations of the adventures he brought to the printed page.
