The big fault in this survey lies in its strict impartiality.
Speaking at
the end of the Miles Davis
Quintet, Bernstein assertsthat its music embodies
all the elements that wehave discussed."This is just not true. Foramong those elements, correctly stated as basic tothe jazz language, are suchthings as " blue notes,"

It's all part of the process of living down the past. Jazz
has become ashamed of its origins.
I have no quarrel with Bernstein's analysis of the change
in jazz. " Jazz used to advertise itself as hot,'" he says.

BRITISH composer Jack Jordan first became known for his
signature tune for Wilfred Pickles' " Have A Go." Jordan
went on to write "Little Red Monkey," which began as a musicaltheme for an Eric Maschwitz television serial and later became
a hit pop both here and in the States.
Since then Jack has turned out a dozen " pieces of music "his latest (published by Ascherberg's) is " The Costa Brava Wedding March," just recorded by Frank Chacksfield on Decca. These" pieces of music " make real money.
I feel that any publisher who does not pay some attention tothis important side of the music business in the next few years
will be missing the boat badly, for the value of performance isbecoming more apparent each day.

operas. musical comedies, oratorios, every form of light music

As another example of the staying power of light music, consider Ronald Binge's " Elizabethan Serenade." Ron Goodwin's

46 airings. Can you imagine any pop record getting similar
