Between 1975 and 1988 New York City spawned an incredible and wild array of artistic overlapping communities. Every musician, it seemed, was also an artist, every artist a filmmaker and every filmmaker was in a band. These progressive and creatively explosive years saw the births of Punk at CBGB and Max's Kansas City, of Hip Hop in the Bronx, the emerging art music activities of Philip Glass and Laurie Anderson, Free Jazz and the No Wave art/rock scene around James Chance, Lydia Lunch and Mars. New York Noise is Paula Court's photographic tour of these colliding worlds. She photographed the likes of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, David Byrne, Lou Reed, James Chance, Patti Smith, Afrika Bambaata, John Cage, Robert Longo, Jim Jarmusch, Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince, as well as bands like DNA, Suicide, ESG and the Rock Steady Crew.. With over 400 images, many of them previously unpublished, New York Noise follows Soul Jazz Records' critically acclaimed CD series, providing an unprecedented visual record of one of New York's liveliest cultural eras.
