Everybody ought to have a lower East Side in their life. – Irving Berlin
From the clamoring brownstones of Manhattan’s lower east side came the celebrated songs of Tin Pan Alley – and a genre that came to define America at home and abroad. Song pluggers like Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Dorothy Fields, and dozens more, captured the national mood, politics, and pastimes of American life a century ago. With Jennifer Aylmer, Suzanne DuPlantis, Randall Scarlata, and Laura Ward, piano.
