Music in New York

New York is where music history gets made -- a city that has birthed or shaped nearly every major American genre, from jazz and hip-hop to punk and minimalist classical. On any given night you can hear a world-class orchestra at Carnegie Hall, a rising indie act at Bowery Ballroom, or a jazz quartet spilling sound onto the sidewalk from a West Village club.
