Tin Pan Alley

Tin Pan Alley je zajednički naziv za grupu njujorških muzičkih izdavača, kompozitora i tekstopisaca koji su dominirali američkom zabavnom, odnosno popularnom muzikom krajem 19. i u prvoj polovici 20. vijeka.

Početak Tin Pan Alleya se obično vezuje uz godinu 1885. kada je niz izdavačkih kuća postavio svoja sjedišta u istom distriktu Manhattana. Kraj neki historičari vezuju uz Veliku depresiju 1930-ih koja je gramofon i radio učinila glavnim medijem za konzumaciju popularne muzike umjesto dotadašnjih štampanih partitura. Drugi pak smatraju da je Tin Pan Alley ostao kao zasebna institucija sve do pojave rock'n'rolla 1950-ih.
