notes

Take a musical journey from South Ferry at the foot of Manhattan to 125th Street in Harlem, and savor a wide variety of music at subway stops along the way. With appropriate sound accompaniments for each station, music genres include original soul, rhythm and blues, jazz, acoustic rock, pop, and a Chinese classical orchestra. The CD includes performances by Sayyd Abdul Al-Khabyyr, Didjworks, Bruce Edwards, and Little Joe. A good choice for bringing a little of the city home with you, and a perfect souvenir or gift for former New Yorkers.

New York City is alive with music. You hear it on Broadway, at Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, and in the subways! SUBPLAY is the first CD to go underground, capturing the raw sound and emotion of NYC's diversely talented subway musicians. Roger Ridley's soulful voice, Sayyd's sultry saxophone, Kathleen Mock's angelic brand of folk/rock, and seven others will have you running to the subways screaming for an encore!

SUBPLAY offers listeners sounds of the true New York underground. Each CD contains a 16-page full color booklet with pictures and bios on each artist

  • A brilliant teaching resource!
    author: Campbell

    This CD inspires music students to get out there and perform. My students loved the real sounds of the subway, it is a great example of working this city as a musician. Many a New York City School Monday morning music lesson has begun with a track from this CD!

  • The essence of riding the subway
    author: Dave Hay

    I lived in NYC for ten years back when I was young and broke, and spent many hours on the subways. (Among other things, it was a great place to meet girls!) When my friend first gave me this CD, I fell in love with it. It took me back there! (I am glad that CDs don't wear out the way records did.) But then I left my pack of CDs behind in an airport one afternoon and was devastated to realize I had lost that particular one. Imagine my pleasure some years later, when I discovered I could replace it through your web site. I even bought an extra copy for my son, who's living in New York now. (It's his turn to be young and broke.) Thanks!

  • Excellent! This captures he essence of what is so special about NYC
