This article focuses on Jazz music. The book "Jazz: Hot and Hybrid" ends with a chapter called Jazz in Its Proper Place, on the limitations that make jazz an improbable source of concert music. In this chapter the scholar makes some sober and correct observations, the philosopher some extravagant, pretentious, rather silly, and incorrect ones. But that is what the subject seems to do to people. The author of the book himself remarks that it would not be necessary to put jazz in its place if there were not the exaggerated claims of its hysterical devotees, which put sensible people on the defensive side.
