Event Description

This symposium considers how jazz takes shape in and through place. It explores how music moves across streets, dance floors, clubs, museums, and festivals; how room design, amplification, and staging shape what audiences hear and how they participate; and how history, the built environment, and racialized geographies condition who gets access to these spaces. It invites participants to think across neighborhoods, scenes, and cities—past and present—to develop novel articulations of how places are conjured through music and how places, in turn, animate the music we hear.
