weird noises, and host of other i'm

Good or bad, fad or institution, Jazz
was born in Chicago, developed in New
Orleans, exploited in New York and
glOrifed in Paris. So writes one of the
many authorities who have recently
delved into this latest manifestation of
American music that has conquered q
place in the western world. Howard
Brockway, the American composer, at
tempts to expla in the n. Y. Review,
the yactcristics and origin Of Jazz,
but its origin still remains obscure.
Chicago claims il, and, according to Il.
NJ. King, Chicago still holds the strong
est title. But Jazz, claims Mr.. Brock
way, though il is new 20 us in the United
States and through us TO both England
and France, is not absolutely new 20 the
world. He attempts an analysis of this
newest musical phenomenon:
"Just what is Jazzs In striving 70
answer this query, can not hope 10
initiate the admirable brevity of the
word. Jazz is ordered and calculated
noise. II is u compound of qualities,
both rhythmic and melodic. 1t seeks,
and with absolute success be it said, 20
sweep from our minds all simultaneous
consideration of other things, and TO
focus our attention upon its own mad
whirling, involved self. Herein lies a
large part of = compelling force and
appeal. II n I well be that General
Gouraud cou' find the hideous load of
responsibility lightened, perhaps even
put aside for the moment, as he listened
20 Europe's jazziihg, and that he felt his
pulse responding TO the virile rhythm,
and his emotions joining in the rush of
the Humorous care-free mood. Certain il
is that our dough boys, fresh from the
trenches, with days and weeks OF grim
endeavor and physical strain behind
them, turned 10 the Jazz furnished by
their bands and found in it relaxation
and solace and cheer which enabled
them TO forget what was past and to

New York is rent in spots. Boston is
only slightly Jazz. But the Middle
West is in the throes-and it may never
know il until consciousness returns.
Henri Duvernois contributes TO the
Paris Fermina am amusing skit on the
Jazz craze in the French capital. The
Blanditeurs are giving a party for their
recently ai1ianeed daughter. A eelorea
JAZZ band is engaged. The concierge
is persuaded TO put cotton IN his ears:
the band is given strict orders to play
so that he can hear it. All the other
tenants of the apartment building are
invited to the party since if they were
not they would certainly complain of
the noise to the landlord. The musi-
clans themselves would prefer to play
classical elections, but they realize that
their clients all demand Jazz with its
miscellaneous assortment of noise
makers-the "klaxono in particular

woman frequenter of the cafe where he

manner in which the music was played,

A certain professor remarked last winter
that Jazz bands were merely outbreaks
of irrepressible spontaneity, which would
express itself momentarily and then dis
appear. But they are becoming cpl
demic, international. Mr.. King thinks
that Jazz is a ragged combination of
letters that suggests humping and snort
ing, wind and banging blinds, broken
glass and the devil-may- back of it
all. Chicago, therefore, he asserts, is it's
inevitable origin:

tells of Chinese festival held al
Paderewski 3 chateau i'm Switzerland, in
honor Of the great pianist $ birthday.
At that time Mr.. Brockway discovered
photograph records of native Siamese
orchestra:
"When / first heard them played, /
was astOunded, for there in this Siamese
music, in spite Of the strange Oriental
idioms, from nm Occidental 8 harmonic
standpoint, was the very essence Of
Jazz! The music was like nothing that
my ears had ever heard, and uncouth 10

But there were the insistent rhythm, the
demoniae energy, the fantastic riot of
accents from the drums and other per
eussion instruments, and humorous
mood which made me laugh long and
loud. II seemed humorous 20 me. have
often wondered what that mood really
was-in Siamese There is no room for
doubt when we hear our own Jazz!
Wholehearted, boisterous, rough, but the
very soul of kindly good humor and care

Other less erudite musical authorities
are satisfied that Jazz is purely of
American origin. We find the New York
Telegraph, Broadway's own gazet, for
instance, giving the credit to Chicago:
