džezs kā lāsts?

My objection to jazz is that one can't sit still when it is played. You must get up and wear yourself out dancing. When you become accustomed to the pronounced rhythm you are unable to get that beautiful relaxation which comes from the appreciation of fine music. This is really doing a terrible injury to our young people. /some reader in New York Times, 1922/

Jazz disorganizes all regular laws and order; it stimulates to extreme deeds, to a breaking away from rules and conventions; it is harmful and dangerous, and its influences is wholly bad. /A. S. Faulkner, Ladies' Home Journal,1921/
