About this product
Over the course of nine years, Tony Schwartz collected the sounds of New York, seeking to record Inchthe audible expression of life.Inch Originally produced as a radio program for WNYC, the finished product is a lucid representation of the city, capturing street sounds, immigrant voices, lively music, raindrops, bird songs, and even the pragmatic advice of the city's cabbies. Part anthropological study, part hometown travelogue, the recordings contextualize the city's shifting rhythms and urban folklore as a meaningful collection of sounds, each one with a specific purpose and significance to the eight million inhabitants (plus an unknown number of cats and dogs). Schwartz's New York is not just an imposing mystical metropolis, but a palpable place where people of all ages live their lives.

Originally aired as part of the CBS Radio Workshop and released by Folkways in 1958, Tony Schwartz's A Dog's Life tells the story of how he acquired his dog, Tina, from a Manhattan shelter. Narrator Ralph Bell guides the listener through barks, growls, and New Yorkers' advice on everything from how a dog like Tina should be groomed, if her tail should be clipped, how she should be named, etc. With A Dog's Life, Schwartz creates an engaging recording that captures the atmosphere of 1950s New York. Liner notes include black-and-white photographs of Schwartz and Tina, as well as some of Tina's canine companions.
