In the 19th century, slaves gathered on Sundays to play drums, dance, and sing in Congo Square. Those vibrant rhythms of Africa collided head on with the sounds of Europe to create jazz, a seminal American art form that has inspired countless generations and spread around the globe. But this isn’t corduroy-wearing, head-nodding, polite jazz. New Or...
During the Great Migration (1916-1970), when large numbers of African Americans left the South in search of better opportunities, Chicago attracted scores of people. They arrived by the thousands, bringing with them the sounds of the Mississippi Delta. Here, it evolved with the bright lights of the city and transformed into something bigger, electr...
Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. It was here in Sun Studios in the summer of 1951 that Ike Turner and his band the Delta Cats recorded “Rocket 88,” widely regarded as the first rock and roll song. But, like so many visionary moments, it happened by accident—the guitarist’s amp malfunctioned during the recording, creating a distorted guit...
Austin calls itself the “Live Music Capital of the World” for good reason. Some cities have more history, others have bigger stars, but none have better fans. The secret is passion.

Detroit has two claims to fame. Not only is it the birthplace of that soulful Motown sound; it was also here that the Belleville Three started experimenting with technology and music in the 1980s in a way that hadn’t been done before. Techno started in these gritty streets and it’s still going strong. Detroit is a city with a remarkable story: one ...
New York is one of the world’s greatest cities where you can listen to all kinds of music. But to experience a true New York state of mind, you have to leave the shiny towers and Broadway shows of Manhattan and head to Harlem, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. Here, the sounds and the streets intertwine: beats and rhymes, breaks and spins—a whole ar...
Minneapolis was Prince’s inspiration: He was born here, lived here, and died here. The city is a pilgrimage site for Prince fans everywhere, but it’s at Paisley Park where the legend comes alive. This predominantly purple mansion in the suburbs features a Hollywood-style sound stage, four recording studios, and a nightclub. Giant murals of Prince— ...
