Jazz at 100

Jazz at 100 Hour 94 : Never far from the pulse of jazz innovation, New York in the 1980s incubated what has become known as the “downtown scene.”

Radically multi-stylistic, the resulting music was unabashedly eclectic, celebrating influences from bebop to punk rock to cartoon music and eventually klezmer and Balkan music.
