To him the spectacle of serious musicians attempting to imitate jazz and Incorporate it into their music merely suggest that sensationalism is the sole nim and object of what he has chris- lened the "wrong-note school" of modern music.
Where, then, does the truth lic? Can the gamin jazz enter into the amicable partnership with its more dignified musical rival, or must the mating of these seemingly incon- gruous bedfellows be doomed to produce none by hybrid and un- gainly offspring?
Has the day arrived when the tonal and rhythmical technique loosely classified as "jazz" may reasonably stake its claim to a definite status in the realm of serious music? pertinently quires Norman Cameron in London Daily Telegraph.
Prompted by the rumour that Stravinsky, in addition to rescor ing his "Mavra" Overture for Jack Hylton's Band, is composing a new work specifically for the British jazz expert's use, this sug- gestion is less iconoclastic than musical purists would have us be lieve. Admittedly, jazz effecta, handled with consummate tech- nical skill, have long featured in

Whether Ireland's superimpost. tion of a more or less allen ele-
ment upon his own strongly in- dividual style has proved an un- qualified success or merely, as Mr. Ernest Newman has nuggest- ed, a corruption of music's good manners by association with an evil thing, concert-goers and wire- less listeners have been given op- portunity to judge for themselves. For good or 1, the fact remains that an active interest in jazz technique is manifested in the work of more than one or two dis- tinguished modern composere.
