Summary:"Sittin' in brings to public view for the first time a rare collection of more than two hundred souvenir photographs and memorabilia from the most renowned jazz nightclubs in America in the 1940s and 1950s. In an era of segregation and Jim Crow laws, jazz nightclubs across the country were among the first places where Black and white people mixed in audiences and onstage. These remarkable images, detailed histories of each club, and first-person testimonies from those who performed and visited these seminal venues are your ticket inside an extraordinary world that gave root to change and greater personal expression, both musically and socially." --
