THE MUSICAL CLIMATE
Sir-The portraits of various jaz. exponents on The Listener cover and elsewhere are very illuminating, in that they make clear the questionable influence of jazz upon immature minds, Intelligent readers of your publication are at a loss to understand the increasing space given to this species of broadcasting, which can result solely in lowering still further the sub-zero tastes of the listening masses. An anti-jazz crusade is urgently needed in this country to cleanse the Augean radio stables and thereby purify the aesthetic atmosphere, Have we no young people of vision, culture and enterprise to undertake this worthy mission?
