New York-Philharmonic City (1): jazz of Coffee on Cornelia Street

The musical atmosphere of New York is the kind of literature and art that permeates the bones, pervading every corner of the city, performances, bars, and even people's commutes. And this city also records the inheritance of music from generation to generation, carrying the dreams of countless young people who are passionate about music.

The Cornelia Street Coffee, located at the corner of Bleecker Street and Cornelia Street in Greenwich Village, New York, has been a place for independent musicians since it opened in 1977. In the early years, musicians would gather here every Monday to talk about music, play their own songs and talk about their creative experiences; more than 5,000 songs floated in the air of small cafes at that time. The story was translated into a music album, the musicians Exchange, which was published in 1980. Greenwich Village has experienced ups and downs for decades. Bob, an early folk singer? Dylan, Dave? Fan? Juncker and other often played "Gas Light Cafe" has been closed, music people have changed one set after another, "Cornelia Cafe" music has been uninterrupted.

In order to continue to operate, the venue of the performance was moved from upstairs to the basement. Upstairs is French food, red wine and guests talking and laughing. And into the basement of the stairs, but into another world, here is full of poetry and distance. The singer sings according to his own mood, while the listener enjoys art between the cups.

For decades, Greenwich Village has maintained the tradition of music and is a weather vane of New York literature and art. The sprouting literary and artistic feelings here have permeated the whole city, leaving a faint melody floating in the air of New York.
