Oddly dismissive comments about dixiland simply highlights an ignorant, elitist, and racist point of view that is as tasteless, idiotic, and innacurate now as it was then. I suppose there's no point not worth missing...
Jazz on Downton Abbey
.
I was watching a 'Downton Abbey' episode last night where a jazz band was playing in the mansion of an ultra-rich British family in 1914. About 90 seconds into one of the tunes, the snooty grande dowager snorted, "I wonder if each of them know what the others are playing". I howled!!
A hundred years later, a lot of people still don't get it.
