MUSIC CRITICS SAY JAZZ
HASPLACE ALL ITS OWN

To those high brow musicians who
lift scornful eyebrows at jazz music
it may be interesting to know that
many well-known authorities in their
own profession have declared that
this particular kind of music has a
place in the world of melody and
should be taken seriously.
A volume was issued recently by a
prominent music publisher entitled
1.-THE Art of Jazzing for the from
bone" 1t was written by Fortunate
Sordillo. first trombone of the Boston
symphony Orchestra. Mr.. Sordillo
explains in detail the various kinds
OF jazz-short. long, compound, and
double compound, both ascending and
descending, as well as new features
in the practice of the slur.
Percy Granger, while on recent
trip to Winnipeg, Canada, was found
to be quite willing to say good word
for Jazz music and incidentally to ad-
init that, with its complications, 1t
