An interactive exhibition has opened, highlighting the sounds of New York City from the 1920s to the present, encompassing a variety of musical styles. It underlines the critical role of Jewish musicians and songwriters who have shaped NYC's music scene, which has evolved through genres such as jazz, punk rock, and hip-hop. Features include iconic photography paired with reflections on NYC topics like nightlife and neighborhoods, culminating in a celebration of the Jewish influence on defining songs about the city.
"Perhaps it's no surprise that a surfeit of Jewish musicians and songwriters are featured on the museum's list of defining New York City songs."
"Jewish artists have left their fingerprints on practically all of them... from jazz to punk rock, folk music to show tunes."
