“WHAT IS JAZZ” A recent contest held by an American radio station among its listeners for the best definition of jazz music brought the following replies:— “The flappers’ lullaby.” “The loose chain in the tyre of life.” “Rhythm used by the imps of hades in their membership drive among mortals.” “Unbuttoned music.” “The Jtirue expression of the big city.” “A' pigs squeal discarded by the packers.” “An inspiration of the younger generation to keep the older generation alive.” ... “A rhythmic scramble of knives and forks shaken frantically in a tin pan.” “Sixty per cent atmospherics, 25 per cent, cat’s meow, 8 per cent, insanity, 5 per cent, bunk and 2 per cent, music.”
