Featuring the work of Arlene Gottfried, Peter Hujar, Stephen Shames, Bruce Davidson, Susan Meiselas, Joseph Rodriguez and 60 other photographers, I Hear Music in the Streets is an ode to New York City's music scenes and subcultures from 1969 to 1989.
The book is structured into eight thematic chapters, each exploring different communities, movements and spaces that shaped the city's music scene: "The Bronx Boys," "The Oddballs," "Black Power," "The Pride," "The Subways," "Our Latin Thing," "The Beach" and "Days of Disco." Guiding us through this urban journey is music historian Tim Lawrence, author of the bestselling titles Love Saves the Day (2004), Hold On to Your Dreams (2009) and Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor (2016).
