Sessions at West 54th - американская телевизионная программа, в которой представлены музыкальные выступления, и в некотором смысле это была вариация поп-музыки на тему, заданную долгожителями Austin City Limits , хотя представленные музыканты представляли несколько музыкальных жанров . Он назывался Sessions at West 54th, потому что он был записан в Sony Music Studios на West 54th Street в Манхэттене . Джеб Брайен и Ники Феттель, старший вице-президент APS по разработке программ, разработали серию после работы над специальными концертными программами APS с Сюзанной Вега и Оттмаром Либертом. Он был произведен длясиндикатора общественного телевидения American Program Service (APS) (сейчасАмериканское общественное телевидение , Бостон) и транслировалось по многим общественным телеканалам. Впервые он вышел в эфир в большинстве мест 5 июля 1997 года, когда он был включен в субботнюю вечернюю серию станций, охватывающих 85% территории страны. После того, как программа закончилась, отредактированная для коммерческого телевидения версия также транслировалась по коммерческой сети кабельного телевидения Trio .
Впервые его вел диск-жокей Крис Дуридас из KCRW в Санта-Монике, Калифорния , в то время как бывший фронтмен Talking Heads Дэвид Бирн взял на себя обязанности ведущего во втором сезоне, а Джон Хиатт был ведущим в третьем и последнем сезоне.
