New York City has been a rich source of inspiration for songwriters across a wide range of genres, particularly jazz. Artists like Billy Joel and Lin-Manuel Miranda, who were born in New York, have contributed to the city's musical legacy, as have artists who have lived in New York for most of their lives, such as Shinehead and Debbie Harry. This book explores the depiction of New York City in song, focusing on various musical genres and the work of artists who have been intimately connected with the city. The book analyzes songs written about New York City, engaging with the depiction of the city within them, but mainly using it as a way to deal with several musical genres that the city has been home to and instrumental in developing. These include the musical theatre scene on Broadway and beyond, early 20th century sheet music, hip hop, disco, punk, dancehall, jazz, swing, rock, and pop music. The collection includes essays from authors with a cultural studies, media studies, cultural history, or musicology background, making possible a far-ranging treatment of the interconnection of the city space and its musical history.
