Description: In 1964, The Village Stompers carried their banjo-bright, Dixieland-infused sound uptown for the cover of *New Beat on Broadway*, posing in the neon buzz and theater marquees around Broadway & W 47th St. The photo catches that hinge moment when midtown was still all big-band glitz, just as folk and pop-jazz from the Village were starting to seep into the mainstream. Their horn-heavy lineup looks almost like a roaming pit orchestra that’s busted out of a musical and onto the street, turning Times Square into an open-air bandstand. This iconic corner is one of the featured stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
