Talkin' Greenwich Village : the heady rise and slow fall of America's bohemian music capital
Browne, David, 1960-2024
Books, Manuscripts
The definitive history of the revolutionary Greenwich Village music scene, which fostered some of the most iconic musicians in American history - and fought for its identity every step of the way. Although Greenwich Village takes up less than a square mile in downtown New York, rarely has such a concise area supported and nurtured so many groundbreaking artists and genres. Over the course of decades, Billie Holiday, the Weavers, Sonny Rollins, Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk, Herbie Hancock, the Blues Project, and Suzanne Vega are just a few who realized the Village was a sanctuary for outsiders and those who wanted to invent or reinvent themselves. Based on new interviews with surviving participants, previously unseen and unheard archives, and author David Browne's years immersed in the scene, 'Talkin' Greenwich Village' lends the saga the epic, panoramic scope it has long deserved.
