HBO will premiere Vinyl, a series about the New York music scene in the ’70s that’s co-produced by Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese, in January.

Here’s the logline from HBO…
Scorsese and Jagger will be joined by Empire’s Terence Winter as a writer and show-runner. “It’s fast, it’s dirty, it smashes you over the head!” shouts Bobby Cannavale (Richie Finestra), a music executive trying to resurrect his record label.
And just to answer the question everyone will ask – no, the Mickster is NOT starring, which is too bad, because he IS a good actor. Scorsese and Jagger previously worked together on the 2006 documentary “Shine A Light”.
