Read this article HERE. It was published in 1921 by Anne Shaw Faulkner, head of the Music Department of the General Federation of Women's Clubs in the Ladies Home Journal magazine. It's fair to say that she wasn't a fan of the new music of the time - jazz. Take this quote for example...
"But 'jazz' is an unmitigated cacophony, a combination of disagreeable sounds in complicated discords, a willful ugliness and a deliberate vulgarity."
A wee bit harsh, no?
