"What is darktown?"

A short history of … “Darktown Strutters’ Ball” (Shelton Brooks, 1915)

"...the song was inspired by an annual ball in Chicago, Illinois, that was “a kind of modern equivalent of the medieval carnivals of misrule, financed by wealthy society folk but with a guest list of pimps and prostitutes.” "

Darktown Strutter's Ball by Ella Fitzgerald
