Between 1975 and 1988 New York City spawned an incredible and wild array of artistic communities that overlapped and interbred with scant heed for generic purity (let alone posterity): every musician it seemed was also an artist every artist a filmmaker and every filmmaker was in a band. These heady 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. From her arrival in New York City in 1978 Court diligently photographed the likes of Glenn Branca Jean-Michel Basquiat Keith Haring David Byrne Rhys Chatham 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 Bush Tetras ESG and the Rock Steady Crew. Also captured in these pages are nascent musicians and actors such as Michael Stipe Steve Buscemi Willem Dafoe and Madonna who came into artistic maturity amid these diverse scenes. With over 400 images many of them previously unpublished New York Noise follows Soul Jazz Records' critically acclaimed CD series providing an unprecedented visual record of one of New York's liveliest cultural eras.
