Abstract

Jazz vs. the Jazz Question
Haggin, B. H. | June 27, 1928 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Appeal of Jazz" by the author R.W.S. Mendl. One reads some of the material in this book at a loss to know why it was included or why it was put in one place rather than another; and Mendl's own reasons are often worse than none. But though the book is badly put together and the pattern of its ideas therefore hard to follow, its actual contents are the first to deserve attention. Mendl has knowledge and understanding of music and he is not out to show off. In fact, Mendl is so serious himself that he takes jazz much too seriously.
