Photographer Stephen Jess has created an in-depth project of images and overview histories of historic New York City recording studios titled "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"
From the author:
"Some of the greatest music in the world was recorded in studios in New York City.
Listen to Kind of Blue, and you can hear the sound of Miles Davis' trumpet bounce off the 50-foot ceiling of an abandoned church on 30th Street. Listen to The Sound of Silence and you can hear Simon and Garfunkel's harmonies reverberate through the back stairwell of a building on 52nd Street.
New York City is constantly under construction, building and rebuilding, but never sentimental.
The music is revered, cherished, and celebrated - but the spaces it was recorded in are not. There are no plaques on the wall or bronze markers on the sidewalk.
These are the stories of some of those studios and the music that was recorded there."
This is a lovely collection of both modern day and historical photos and information about each profiled studio.
