New York City Experimental Music 1980-1990 with Brooke Wentz, author of Transfigured New York

For the latest edition of Reading Is Funktamental, we speak with Brooke Wentz, author of Transfigured New York, a fantastic book of interviews with leading figures in the experimental music scene in NYC from 1980-1990 including composers like Arthur Russell, Glenn Branca, John Cage, La Monte Young and leading jazz musicians like John Zorn, Vernon Reid and Jean-Paul Bourelly. Brooke also discusses her work as a music supervisor for film and TV and her emergence as a leading force in world music with her company, Seven Seas Music.
