What has been said about Jazz Bands in   The UK   

Much has been written about jazz and jazz bands. Here are some quotations:-

A wave of vulgar, filthy and suggestive music has inundated the land. The pabulum of theatre and summer hotel orchestra is coon music. Nothing but ragtime prevails and the cake-walk with its obscene posturings, its lewd gestures. It is artistically and morally depressing and should be suppressed by press and pulpit.
