JAZZ SESSIONS
Sir,-It has long been my intention to © write in protest against the jazz sessions perpetrated by the main National stations. Listeners will be horribly aware that these only too often break out after 10 p.m. and account, no doubt, for the refusal of nightingales to take up their abodeiin New Zealand. , I do not dislike melodious music and enjoy the uproarious jollifications of Dixieland. The caterwauling, however, of an aged rooster against a background of bumps, grunts and groanings is beyond the pale of tational appreciation. This metaphor will suffice, although the turgid noises which pour forth in the name of jazz really demand something of a more revolutionary nature. I appeal to the gods, programme organisers, and other mysterious powers, to let themselves go in one great iconoclasm. In such a way will history be made and the race preserved from the trumpetings of decadence.
