AMERICAN MUSIC
Sir,-Your contributor "G. leF. Y." may be surprised to learn that the lady he mentioned in his paragraph "Not Made in New Zealand" actually is an American, I dislike "G. leF. Y.’s" insinuation that American music is becoming detrimental to. the listening public. I have never read in your magazine a similar opinion about» German, French, Russian or English music, which proves no doubt that in general your magazine is just too, too, highbrow, and in particular that "G. leF. Y." doesn’t really know very much about the comparative values of jazz, He also probably did not compare as well with some of the more eminent American jazz critics, as "Doug" did, with Art Tatum, despite the fact that "Doug" was basing his style on Teddy Wilson rather
than Tatum.
