  1960s, Pittsburgh’s Hill District was the heart of the city’s Black c
 ultural life and home to a vibrant jazz scene. In Jazz in the Hill: Nightl
 ife and Narratives of a Pittsburgh Neighborhood, Colter Harper looks at ho
 w jazz shaped the neighborhood and created a way of life. Beyond backdrops
  for remarkable careers, jazz clubs sparked the development of a self-dete

 neurialism, placemaking, labor organizing, and critical listening in the H
 ill District, Harper forges connections to larger political contexts, proc
 esses of urban development, and civil rights struggles.No registration req
