Sir,-As is usual with critics of jazz, "A.E.H." compares the worst jazz with the best in serious music, No one can deny that Stan Kenton has produced a cacophony without rival, but so have some of the contemporary composers in the serious field. Does "A.E.H." condemn the Benny Goodman combination as the product of a juvenile and diseased mind, when this combination has obviously made a serious study of harmony, melody and counterpoint and produces some of the most precise. technique of today’s music? I believe an appreciation of both types of music is possible and if this is denied how can the small jazz, groups within symphony orchestras be explained? I believe the New Zealand National Orchestra is an example.
