Disco and salsa. The loft jazz scene and the downtown composers known as Minimalists. In the mid1970s, New York City was a laboratory where all the major styles of modern music were reinventedblock by block, by musicians who knew, admired, and borrowed from one another. Crime was everywhere, the government was broke, and the infrastructure was collapsing. But rent was cheap, and the possibilities for musical exploration were limitless.Will Hermes's Love Goes to Buildings on Fire is the first book to tell the full story of the era's music scenes and the phenomenal and surprising ways they intersected. From New Year's Day 1973 to New Year's Eve 1977, the book moves panoramically from postDylan Greenwich Village, to the arsonscarred South Bronx barrios where salsa and hiphop were created, to the lower Manhattan lofts where jazz and classical music were reimagined, to ramshackle clubs like CBGB and the Gallery, where rock and dance music were hotwired for a new generation.
