\nThe Treacherous Three, Norman Thomas H.S., 1981 by Joe Conzo<\/em><\/p>\n

Fascination with hip-hop’s history is growing, as a generation that never saw it comes of age. Because of this, photographers who had the pluck to take pictures of the then developing scene are experiencing a renewed interest in their work. (I’ve even been the beneficiary of this new regard, enjoying my own show, last summer, of pictures taken mostly on Long Island<\/a>, during the White Castle days of what would become Public Enemy.)<\/p>\n

Today on my WBAI-NY \/ 99.5 FM radio show, NONFICTION, this afternoon, Friday, July 11, at 2 pm ET, I’ll be speaking with Joe Conzo<\/strong>, whose pictures of formative hip-hop sextet the Cold Crush Brothers form the basis of seminal urban work in his book, Born in the Bronx<\/em>; Janette Beckman<\/strong>, a British photog who, arriving here in NYC during the early ’80s, having exhausted punk, found fresh!<\/em> inspiration shooting Run-DMC, Boogie Down Productions, and others (The Breaks: Stylin’ and Profilin’ 1982-1990<\/em>); and Jamel Shabazz<\/strong> (Seconds of My Life<\/em>), whose touching portraits, mostly of Black New Yorkers, have drawn comparisons to James Van Der Zee and Gordon Parks.<\/p>\n

They’ll be briefly preceded by a conversation with Coloradoan jazz singer Rene Marie, whose controversial performance of “The Star Spangled Banner”<\/a> ten days ago has drawn so much ire.<\/p>\n

You can hear the ideas of these thoughtful innovators by tuning in at 2 pm. If you’re outside of the New York tri-state, you can check out our stream<\/a> on the web. If you miss the live show, check out our archive<\/a> for up to two weeks after broadcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
